Hi Belle,

I took your advise and put a call into my doctor about my pain meds also I asked about the pain meds you told me about.

I don't understand why I don't get this information from my doctors. I just feel like no one manages my care. I have to get pain info off of the internet. The doctors just seem like they don't think everything through. So Belle, your pain is worse after surgery. Does it improve after that? IF not why to we continue to have surgeries if there is no pain relief? Was I dupped. It is good to talk (write to someone about my frustration.
