Morning all. I just woke up to find not only my leg and knee aching, now it my lower back across the top of my pelvic bone.
I had gone to sleep, however it was on my good side. I've been laying on my side when I first lay down and then move to my back because side sleeping would still be uncomfortable.
When I awoke on my side I knew I was in trouble. I then got on my back and popped a pain pill and went back to sleep to wake up with more aching, stiffness including lower back. Got Lucy outside for morning duty and poured first cup of coffee and now back in my lovely bed.
I'm not a wimp when it comes to pain, I'm just tired of it as we all are and it me off. (If this is wrong to say let me know, can't find a different word right now to express myself) I feel I did much better getting around with the stronger oxycodone with my first surgery. I have a high tolerates for muscle relaxers, pain meds. When others are unable to function with them I'm able to get up and go to work which is what I was doing. Take a tramadol and go to work, bam.
This time after surgery they expected me to get up and go to the bathroom with barely anything for pain and watch me cry out in pain, tears streaming down my face begging for something to take it away. I was told I wasn't "due" for my next 5mg oxycodone for another hour. They finally got the message right and kept it at bay, however they sent me home with the same 5mg oxycodone and expect me to take one, maybe two every four to six hours.
Now here I am set back.Grant it I did over do it, however now i have to up the oxycodone to get ahead of the pain which means I'll run out sooner now. I did call yesterday for a new script because I'm was going to run out today anyway taking just one 5mg every four hrs.
I'm venting my frustration I know but come on even though we are human together we are still different individuals. I find no motivation to get up if I know it hurts. If I've got to fight through pain I know is coming when I move knowing it could be addressed better it "you know what" me off. I'm going to express this when I go in tomorrow. Well it's time for my pills, thanks for listening my understanding fellow hippies.
