Sick of pain!

Sarah I appreciate that its just hard to vent...As you know I have always smiled at support group meetings. Tonight I just can not take it. I have taken 3 tramadols and 2 darvcets with no relief. I was gonna use a heat pad but I know I cant do that for another month or so since heat can cause infection and I am tired fighting them. If the pain is still like this in the morning guess who I am calling..and its not the ghost busters...

Pattye, I'm so sorry that you are still experiencing pain. What's up with that? Is it normal, this far after your tummy tuck? Is there infection? With all the advancements in pain management meds, you'd think something could be done. I feel for you (as best I can). You have every right to rant. Thank you for trusting us enough to do some complaining.
As soon as I get off this computer, I'm going to say a prayer for you, that relief will come so quickly that the pain will be a distant memory soon. I pray that you'll soon be posting of your latest winter camping adventure.
Blessings,
Mary

Mary thank you!
I have had so many surgeries and so many different pain meds that now to end the pain I have to go and do the really big naracotics that kinda is not my thing.
I found out that I can have this "kind" of pain for months after a tt. That when nerves are cut it takes time for them to mend...To bad I couldnt open myself up and "knit" the nerves back together.
I go and see the surgeons on Wednesday so I plan on getting some answers....thanks for letting my vent. I don't feel like I am alone

Hi, Pattye.
I'm awake and praying to the One who "knit you together in your mother's womb," that He will knit together those severed nerves, right now, in Jesus' Name.
Sending Prayers and Hugs,
Mary

Hun Call Call Call if it is still hurting you. That is what you have always told us if in doubt call your doctor. Hey that is what they get paid the big bucks for. Take care and try to get some rest. Me I am thinking since it is supposed to be nice tomorrow that me and the kids will hit the river trails near the regatta. I live within a few blocks of where it goes under SE 15th between the regatta and the skate park.

Hi Pattye!
I am so sorry to hear about your pain. It must truly be awful. I must say that I am so glad you found the courage to post about it . Alot of us just spent a lifetime sucking it up and hiding our truest feelings about almost everything especially physical stuff. I tried to be the brave loner. But I got disgusted with the weight of the world on my shoulders everyday. (not to mention on my thighs, hips, stomach...you get the idea :0)  I am PROUD of you for sharing an honest bout with pain. WLS and all of its baggage is not pain free. And certainly you have been through more than most. You can always bring your pain and difficulties to the forum...we are all pulling for you and we want to help by listening to your story. Bring it in all of it's ugliness...throw it in a post and VENT!!! ~Lisa~

Hey kiddo-is it any better now?

Deb,
I finally broke down and took the big drugs...I hate taking morphine but the darcets was not touching it. Plus I went to bed and stayed there till today. My nurse came and wanted me to go to the er and I said I would but I knew I was not in any shape to drive...I was loppyheaded. Don't know if it was the morphine or staying in bed but today I am not hurting....

Probably a little of both-but I'm glad you got some relief.  Even low level constant pain is a huge bummer, intense pain-oi vey.

Vent away! I tend to just not post when I am down....and I am there lately....I know I'd like to talk about it but I don't want to be a downer so......I wait until I can get past it to post again....I appreciate people who can share their feelings, emotions,issues or even pain. It honestly helps me somehow....
You are one compettitive woman! You sound like my daughter! LOL I hope you get to feeling better so you can go...but do take your health issues first right now....It needs to be a priority due to all you have been through. There is always next year or in a few months....
Thanks for venting...I know it helps even if I don't do it....I know it does help.
