Sleeved jan 4th
No one seems to talk about the pain. It hurts to even breath. I know i just had major surgery but not even the meds in the hospital brought my pain level down. Morphine was a joke and did nothing. They ended up giving me deladid every 2 hrs and lortab every 4 and still was in extreme pain. So then i got released last night and am at home trying to manage on Percocet every 6 hrs. Is this amount of pain normal? It wraps all the way around to my back and i cant take a full breath. Please someone tell me it gets better soon idk if i can take too many more days like today

If anyone feels like sharing or has any advise i could use it right about now
