Hello dear,
I am sorry to hear that. Trust me I feel your pain. I had my surgery two weeks ago, August 9th. I had sooooo much pain that I yelled at the nurses at the hospital to have so pain reliever. The first three days was hell. I know what you are going through. After 3 or 4 days you'll get better. All the best !

My nurses gave me IV pain meds around the clock the first day. Second day I was put on liquid pain medication. This managed the pain well, but the key was walking. I had to walk once every hour when I was awake. Pain was completely gone by day #5. Surgery was also 8/9....Good luck!

The pain passes, the happiness stays. You will be okay, I promise! It is painful, you just had major surgery, I couldn't get in and out of bed by myself for a week. But again it all gets so much better, this is so worth it! I'm so sorry you're in pain, and I'm so sorry that you are suffering, but it will and you will feel amazing very soon. Took me about two months to be fully back into the swing of things, but I had the vertical gastric sleeve, my gallbladder removed, and a large hiatal hernia repaired. Most people are back to themselves within 2 to 4 weeks.

Keep up on your pain meds, and tell the nurse when you are in pain. Every day you will feel better, and very soon this will all be in your in your rear view mirror.

My son, in his senior year of high school, blew out his knee and had surgery to repair it. The pain was immense, and the doctors and nurses were puzzled when he didn't respond to normal amounts of pain meds. A few years later, he decided to grow a beard and it grew in bright red -- this slicing the mystery (most redheads need extra pain meds because they don't respond like non - gingers.) Moral of the story -- ask for better pain management. I hope you're feeling better soon!

If you are in that much pain, then you need to talk with your doctor about what they are using for pain management. For example, the morphine pump does not work for me - I found that out on a surgery well before this one.

Not all pain medications work the same way on all people. They should be able to keep you comfortable.
