so much pain!

 when oh when will it stop!  I had my tt and ba on april 19.  doctor gave me the pain pump and also percocet...which were lovely!  But now that those things have run out,  I am in so much pain.  Especially my breasts, he did quite a bit of liposuction around that area as well.

Emotionally, Im exhausted from feeling so horrible.  I guess I'm just looking for some moral support and some reassurance that eventually, I'll be okay again?  

Have you talked to your surgeon??? Ask for more pain meds

It will get better, it's a very long process. I didn't have lipo in the breast area but did in my mons and that was painful, so I can't imagine it in the breast area. I'm almost 4 months out from my TT and BA and I believe I'm still healing, but the pain is gone. You will be okay, but I'd call the surgeon and let them know what's going on. Good luck!

I'm sorry you are in so much pain..sending prayers..!

Honey, that's not right!  Just because you ran out of medication doesn't mean you should be in pain.  You need to get in touch with your surgeon or PCP immediately to get a follow-up and some more pain relief.

Definitely call your doctor and get more pain meds.  Maybe even some muscle relaxers.  My doc says that pain is not good for healing so get some relief as soon as possible.

 You need MORE DRUGS, or possibly DIFFERENT DRUGS, but don't let the pain continue like this. It's not just comfort, but can actually slow your healing to let it continue like this. Call your surgeon.

 i feel like they may judge me...am I being a big baby?  Will they think I'm a junky????

No, you tell them that your pain is not controlled.  Even if you WERE a junky, the pain is real and needs to be treated.  There are also red flags that they look for (like if you called requesting specific drugs in specific dosages).  All lthey need to know is that your pain is not controlled with what they've given you.  You are not being a baby; you had major surgery.  Go get the help you need!

 you are so kind..and thank you....I've spent my whole day in tears feeling like such a failure...and so much in pain.  Your note made me feel human.  Thank you.  You really cant know how much that means to me....I would love to "friend you"  but I'm so lame,  I don't know how.  Can you send me a friend request so I can add you as a friend.  

Thank you....Thank you so much.  truly....

I sort of understand that worry, since years ago they always acted suspicious of me when I had kidney stones. No real evidence, and usually nothing visible on the X-ray, and I'm just screaming for drugs. 

But- that should be the least of your worries. I mean, you DID  just have surgery, so it should be pretty easy for them to sort out the drug seekers from you. Surgery is unpleasant, and there is no reason for it to be even worse than necessary. No, your not a baby, and who cares what they think anyway. If they are giving you pain meds, and you are still miserable, ask for a different one. They don't all work on everyone the same. I personally prefer dilaudid for bad pain, and the codeine types make me nauseous.

Being in such pain will slow your healing.
