I was released Friday after seeing my ps & I was able to keep my food down & no nausea I'm at home recovering but,I'm in pain,I'm dizzy most the day & I just feel overall bad my ps gave me hydrocodone 2 every 4 hours for the pain but,I'm almost out of meds,I called ps & they said I would have to hold out until my follow up appointment tomorrow to get another script I only have 4 pills left,what am I supposed to do for the pain? When the medicine wears off I can feel everything,I know this will be worth it in the end but,right now I feel horrible.

:( That is not cool that you had to endure that. My surgeon's office gave me a list of scripts to get filled a week PRIOR to my surgery. An antibiotic, nauseau medication, Hydrocodone (Norco),Valium & another pain killer that's a step down from Hydrocodone. I can't imagine having to endure that and then have to worry about having someone get out and get those filled for you. I am down to 2 pain pills/day at this point (8 days post op) I hope you are doing well and they didn't leave you hanging! That is awful!

That's what I was seeing from a lot of other posts my ps gave me cipro & vicodin that's it. I did get another script for the Vicodin when I went in Friday but,when I asked for it,it was like the dr didn't want to write me another script & i did go to the er where they gave me diludid(spellcheck) and that helped me for the whole day Friday & im now 8 days post op & still in moderate pain & the Vicodin really doesn't work I even asked the dr for a something stronger & he said that was it either Vicodin or percocets(which I'm allergic too)

Man... May be stretch the meds to the 4 hour time... and then try the home kind... not aspirin... might cause more bleeding. But maybe ice packs could help. Soon!

My surgery was yesterday 3/10/16 I'm a little nervous bc they had to admit me after being in recovery for 6hours following bc I couldn't stop vomiting & had a fever they started me on antibiotics through iv for fear of an infection but,I'm staring to feel a little better & hopefully I can see my dr today.

It never just goes easy, does it? I am sorry. I hate puking from anesthetic but it really seems to happen. I hope you get out of there soon. We always feel better out of a medical setting unless we are super sick. And you can have your own pillow! Hugs to you...

Yes! It's surreal bc for years I just lived with the pain & the annoyance of these boobs(I actually burned my right one ironing) and I thought it was nothing I can do,I'm so happy & anxious I can't sleep lol!

That's hilarious, I burnt my right one years ago while I was ironing, too (learnt not to iron naked after that)! And I regularly knock things over with them! They're just always in my way and I though I was stuck with them. So glad all this is possible :)
