Frustrated

I had my surgery on Wednesday 3/25. I am still in SO MUCH PAIN! My doctor only prescribed toradol for pain and it's just not cutting it. How long did you guys experience pain-those of you that had pain? I know some don't have any, but apparently my pain tolerance just isn't very high. I wake up every morning barely able to move, I had tears in my eyes just getting out of bed this morning. I have two little ones and I'm just ready to be back to myself caring for them.

  • My girls are 1 and 3, and I will admit...I have been trying to do too much. Thank goodness today is Friday and hubby will be home for the next two days!

  • Had almost no pain day 1. I was on a morphine pump. I used very little morphine. By day two no pain. Maybe I am lucky because the Dr. repaired a hiatil and umbilical hernia at the same time. Be carefu

    mb1292 ~ Only Toradol? wow. I was prescribed liquid Vicoden. a the worst pain was from the gas that they put into your abdominal cavity... no pain med will take that away until your body absorbs it...

My dr sent me home with rx for roxicodone!!! Seemed a little overkill to me. I took them sporadically the first few day, but after that only Tylenol. (Narcotics make my face itch so bad) I had pain in my shoulder that was gas pain, and I tried gasx for the bloating. It helped. The pain in my shoulder just had to work its way out over a week. I kept an ice pack on my incisions even after I came home. It kept them numb. I held onto my ice pack much longer than pain pills. Even after I went back to work sometimes my incision would ache when I got home so I'd put ice on it.
