I don't see why they wouldn't prescribe you more pain meds if your in that much pain. Maybe you can call the office.... Sending healing thoughts your way!!!

Oh goodness no way take pain med so u can feel ok and ask for more!!! I'm sure he will give it to you if they know you are in that much pain. I'm amazed you are a toughy!! Could not imagine no epidural no pain med with C section.

I just want you to know I suffered with pain too. I had five children and four were delivered naturally so I thought I was pretty tough. I would not miss a dose to conserve. Call the doctor and get more. I didn't think mine would but they did. You should not have to suffer without pain killers if you need them. Also, maybe there is a different kind that would work better for you. Hugs

Hi Spirit Wolf..I lost track of you on the mix. I had severe debilitating back spasms for 18 hrs after surgery, starting in the post-op area. Not sure why. I can say that the surgicenter called me for follow up because I was swearing so much there I think they freaked out a little bit. ha. My sister bought me a wheeled walker at a yard sale (but you can get them @ Walgreens, or some senior centers rent them out...call local nursing homes or assisted living centers for other resources as well) and it made a world of difference in taking pressure off my back. For the first few days I walked around with my forearms on the walker, then gradually moved to holding the handles...etc. Yesterday, was able to walk without the walker, but not upright. I know this is coming late, but if you're still having pain it might be something to try, at least at home. Plus, no side effects from the walker, except a little bit of a bruised ego..haha.

My surgery was August 6, and I'm still in severe pain! I am usually great with dealing with pain. I've had four children all with no epidurals at all, then my c sections which I didn't even have to take the pain Meds at home. I was up and at taking care of all of my kids the third day alone actually the second day. This has really kicked my butt, the only thing that helps is the pain Meds called Percocet but I'm
Supposed to take them every four hours and I'm pretty okay when I do pain wise that is but I'm afraid to take them all then when I need them I will literally die of pain with nothing for pain. I don't want the dr to feel I have to have it but I do, when I go even two hours without it I'm in such severe pain I can't even think strait. Do I just tell my Dr. Tuesday and continue taking my pain Meds ands hope he will give me more if I need them or just slack on taking them and continue living through this terrible pain? I love my Dr. I'm just not a real toward person. I've skipped taking my Meds for three hours now already to preserve them, and oh my gosh I am on such severe pain thank god for autocorrect or you'd never be able to read this. Prayers ease! Blessings to all! *hugs*

Oh man thats rough :((. What kind of pain are u having in ur back?? That's strange for your back to be hurting that bad and for so long . Do you think you pulled a muscle? Hope it gets better soon!! My back was a bit sore mostly just from sleeping position. I like the icy hot stick on muscle pads.
