Okay who let the pain out!

GEE I just want to know who let the pain out????
I am hurting big time! Guess thats what I get for bragging...I hurt right on the breast bone and my jp drains keep popping open..talk ablut nasty when you look on yor sheets and see blood.Yikes! It scared my niece so bad she called 911 I laughed at her and told her to cancel the call and had her help me rebandage the sites...
My pain meds are not strong enough..hate to call and ask for something stronger...

I am so sorry you are hurting like that.....It is never fun to be in pain and even worse when nothing cuts it. I'd call them to get stronger stuff. There is no reason to hurt when there is good stuff sitting there waiting on you to call!
You kinda make me worried about getting my hernia's fixed....I know they will hurt but oh my!!!!!

Sherry not every hernia operation is the same. This is the 3rd hernia repair for the same area so I have build up of scar tissue and my breast bone is getting all the pressure applied to it. So dont wait for surgery if you arer afraid of pain....believe the longer you wait the more pain you will have..

Yikes, Pattye. Sorry you are hurting. I feel for you. I am still in quite a bit of pain myself. I am taking lortab and they are helping quite a bit. Call the Dr. don't wait until it is too bad.

Ok Pattye I am going to give you back some of your own advice and tell you to CALL THE DOCTOR!  and tell him you are hurting I mean dang after as many surgeries as you have you start to build up a tolerance.  I wish you a quick and easy recovery and hope that your drain stays closed!

I did call and he said he should have thought about that..so now I am off to get another prescription

 I am glad that you did call and even though it means another script that you are getting something stronger. What did the nurses preach at us in the hospital you can't walk and get better if your are dealing with pain so tell us if you are hurting.

They never told me that. I just know from dealing with lower spinal pain for over 30 years..when there is pain there is NO gain...Painmeans something is wrong and if you dont help it you can cause yourself more than you bargained for...

No extra points for suffering!  So glad you're getting the stronger stuff.  I know you already know that its bad to get behind on your pain!

Kim I stay on top of the meds cause once you let the time fly you end up hurting ....last night I took what he called in and within 20 minutes I was well high as a kite..if Mark Harmon would have knocked on my door I would have laughed and not been able to attack him...and if ya know me I loves Mark Harmon
