ER trip to rule out blood clot

[dreamingofasleeve 89]

Did your pain ever go away? I have this soreness that I can't get rid of. They did an ultrasound today and I am waiting for the results [emoji20][emoji27]

The thing I really dislike about ERs is being treated like I'm an attention-seeking, drug-seeking hypochondriac.

Oh me too!! I know a few different pain meds don't work at all for me including morphine, codeine, and tramadol. And now of course, I can't take NSAIDs either. Me telling any nurse or doctor this makes me sound like a drug - seeker. So I am always under-prescribed. This drives me me crazy because how can I explain that I made ten Oxycodone leftover from a surgery, last literally years in my medicine tub. I still have the last one that I *nearly* used for my recent kidney stone pain but decided not to as I have a pretty high pain threshold. So, it drives me mental, I mean yesterday I got prescribed buscopan and panadol for renal colic from a kidney stone. I didn't ask for anything stronger because I didn't need it, but I'm sure they would have looked at me sideways in the emergency department if I had!
