The gas bubbles moving were horrible pain, now add that to where they cut my left side, and bent me to install cages at l2, and l3, then my back hardware, I HURT.
I am have pretty good movement now, so they gave me oxy to help with the surgery pains.
I've been taking oxy as needed for months. I know about addiction, so I stayed away from the them as much as possible.
I have alot of them saved.....
I'm sure I'll be going home today.
With respect, the fact that you have “alot of them saved” is very concerning. Hearing this, alarms are going off for anyone who deals with addiction. It can imply (hopefully incorrectly) that you might tend to self medicate. My unsolicited advice is get referral to a pain clinic upon discharge and do exactly as they advise; and dispose of any stockpiled opiates today.
I had a lot saved too. Thank God I did.
They sawed me open from armpit to armpit and booted me out with 10 5 mg tablets of oxy. On Day 4
What a pathetic, cruel joke. And that was Mayo Clinic. Ya know ‘posed to be da best. Fucgg that place
Luckily I had about 35 hydrocodone that go me thru the next two weeks.
Whiney ass old people and drug addicts have RUINED post surgical pain mgt for legit patients
And I go to Pain Mgt, it’s a joke- they don’t dispense meds, they refer you to physical therapy or do electro nerve ablation.
