Holy shit I'm really hurting, even on Oxycodone

[steve2470]

yes i admit it, i'm going to be a sympathy whore now. holy jesus, when i start praying to god, you know i hurt. just had inguinal hernia surgery 12 hours ago.

[cry baby]

1. What happened to you?

[steve2470]

2. sorry had surgery edited my post above nt

[cry baby]

11. I read in your posts here that you don't have anyone with you.

Do you have a neighbor that might come sit with you? If you're like me, I prefer to "hurt" alone. Had bone surgery a few years ago.

Maybe you need a different pain drug...some work better than others for me.

So sorry you're hurting.:(

[steve2470]

16. yeah no one but god can take this away...

and i'm kinda wondering about god right now, sorry god, i'm hurting

[cry baby]

18. Call your Dr. now! The later it gets, the more you will hesitate to

do it cause it will be getting late. Do it now.

[steve2470]

21. i think i am just more self-pity than real pain

thanks for putting up with my moaning

[cry baby]

20. and get a friend to go to the pharmacy to get the prescrip for you.

[steve2470]

22. i will be ok.........really

this started after i disrobed to look at the wound...had to do some walking and moving about....so, guess what, now it hurts like shit lol

[MissB]

3. Can you take some more?

Maybe call the doctor (or nurse or whoever's number they told you to call) and ask if you could increase the meds?

Hope you have someone around to take care of you for a few days.

[steve2470]

5. no one is here........long story

i just may call tomorrow.......damn this hurts, maybe god is punishing me for something (joke) :-)

[MissB]

8. Call tonight.

Seriously. If you're awake, then wake their asses up and ask if you can increase the meds. Don't suffer until tomorrow.

[steve2470]

10. i don't know

maybe i just moved too much....maybe i'm just being a wimp and overreacting

[MissB]

13. That is what men always think.

You've just had surgery. They should be keeping you fairly floating.

It may be that you moved too much - especially if you don't have anyone around to help you. Hope you feel better tomorrow.

[cry baby]

15. Yes, I agree, call tonight.

Don't be brave - call.

9. My brother suffered for a full day with drugs

Talk about fevers, sweats, 'agonia'--the whole magilla. Cold cloths, a bit of an alcohol rub to cool him down (not on the affected area mind you) and drugs, drugs, drugs and REST REST REST were the only cure.

It was outright misery for a day, moderate misery for three more.

[shesemsmom]

4. Ouch that is a painfull surgery

Hang in, in 24 hours all will be better

[nytemare]

6. Awwww!

My pop just had hernia surgery today. I hope you feel better soon!

:hug:

[steve2470]

7. thanks !!!!!!!!!!!! nt

[nytemare]

12. You're welcome!

Get the medicine if you need it. Is someone watching you?

[Bouncy Ball]

14. Here, I'll make you feel better.

Imagine 26 hours of labor, including BACK labor (a skull sitting on and grinding on your spine) and then pushing out a nine pound baby with no pain relief. And your fingers getting broken in the process (don't ask how). And then being catheterized immediately after. Vomiting and dry heaving through the whole 26 hours.

Then nurse the baby until your nipples fall off and battle major depression for a year.

There! I bet you feel better now right?

No but seriously, I hope you do feel better soon! That's a bitch, my husband had that surgery, too.

[MissB]

19. I'm gonna ask

how did you break your fingers? Grip the bar too tight? Dh broke them by holding your hand too tightly?

Eeks.

[Bouncy Ball]

23. No they failed to say "take your hands off the bed rail while

we push your bed into the delivery room."

Her head was already delivered, the nurse was freaking out, and she just rammed the bed through the doorway with my hands still on the rails and she was SO freaked out by it, that she attempted to SLAM against the bed to SHOVE IT ON THROUGH WITH MY FINGERS STILL THERE!

The nurse at the foot of the bed had her wits about her (I couldn't even breathe or speak at this point from the pain and remember, I have a HEAD BETWEEN MY LEGS). She yelled at the nurse on the other end "Back up! Back it up!" So they backed up, out popped my fingers, I held them in this time, and I croaked at the nurse "that's ONE way of getting me to forget the pain!"

I got to take a trip to x-ray after she was born. They swelled up and turned purple immediately and I could barely hold her when she was born.

[steve2470]

25. no offense bouncy but you just made me laugh for real

so sorry to read your misery story

[Bouncy Ball]

27. Oh God and you shouldn't be laughing, that will hurt.

I've had abdominal surgery and the WORST thing I did was watch a funny movie when I got home!

Sorry!

[MissB]

26. Ow ow ow ow ow ow

And ow.

Holy shit.

[steve2470]

17. i will quit bitching

i'm not going to die even though it does hurt to move lol thanks for the emotional support, now i don't feel so all alone

[Bouncy Ball]

24. ...

:hug:

Feel better!!! Pain suckity suck sucks!

[R. A. Fuqua]

28. hey--didn't you have

a lady friend that you were making some progress with? (I remember reading something about a Farah look a-like?)

Why don't you give her a call?

I love playing "Nurse and Patient". Sure--you are in a little pain right now--but as you perk up the games can get more intense.....

My girl and I really bonded when she took care of me after surgery (removal of my wisdom teeth was just a couple of weeks after we met. She was so tender and caring that I was really totally and completely in love with her after my recovery was complete (I was attracted before the surgery--but I loved her so much for taking care of me). She would even sing to me!

I love getting tender loving care--and when you are sick you really deserve it!

[steve2470]

30. that went south, long story

but my female coworker did a good job today :hurts:

[R. A. Fuqua]

33. sorry dude--

I just remember the post where you were looking forward to another date.

Good luck to you, I hope you feel better soon and am glad you got some compassionate care.

Many many romances start in the workplace......

[tammywammy]

29. Okay, I had to look it up

but, I feel really bad for you now.

Call the doctor so you can up your meds, stop moving so much, and rest.

I hope you feel better.

:hug:

[LiberallyInclined]

31. chew the oxy's

it helps. :evilgrin:

ihave chronic back pain, and i used to take oxycontin daily- until i lost my health insurance...now i take methadone daily. it's A LOT cheaper, and very effective.

good luck.

[steve2470]

32. this post might show me who my friends are

maybe my other friends are busy etc. :shrug:

[CaliforniaPeggy]

34. Hi Steve!

Sorry I'm posting so very late! Had to work today, and am just getting to my DU friends right now...I very selfishly am hoping that you're still up to get this...

I'm so sorry that you're having so much pain. You WILL be better tomorrow. The body does heal itself...Look at it this way: pain means you're ALIVE! NOOO, you would NOT be better off dead!

Please take care of yourself, my friend!

:hi:

:pals:

[steve2470]

35. god bless you and thank you nt

[CaliforniaPeggy]

36. I am always here for you, Steve! Even when I'm late....

Hang in there...relief is coming...

[cry baby]

37. Ok it's morning now and I hope you got some sleep.

Maybe the pain will subside some today. I just really hope you got a little sleep.

[steve2470]

38. I got some sleep, thank you.

The pain is better now. have some swelling and not much bleeding. Think I'm going to live LOL Thank you so much everyone, y'all are GREAT !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

39. Surgery + 28 hours: still alive and listening to Black Eyed Peas

wow now I know what it feels like to be 100 years old

:hurts: :nopity: :wtf: :wow:

[Left Is Write]

40. Yikes! Doesn't sound like fun.

May the drugs be good to you.

[steve2470]

41. Oxycodone + DU + Yahoo Launch = Happier Steve

thanks Left is Write :-)

[miss_kitty]

42. tell your doc the pain meds aren't working

that can impede your healing. ask for something else. I suggest Morphine or Fentanyl. Oxycodone is useless shite. IMHO.
