The purpose of the Emergency Room personnel is to treat the immediate symptoms until you can be safely moved to a hospital room or it is determined that you are not in a life-threatening condition and you are sent home with the advice to follow up with your own doctor - this is completely normal and expected routine.

So, you should have already been on the phone with your doctor's office to make an appointment. Your doctor SHOULD get a copy of your ER visit FROM the ER but take whatever papers they gave you with you just in case - KEEP COPIES.

The pain you have been having post-surgery could signal an infection.

Whenever you have undergone any sort of procedure and you notice your symptoms worsening, changing but not getting better or new symptoms beginning you should immediately be on the phone with the doctor who performed the procedure and asking the nurse if this is expected and normal. IF NOT you will be told to come in and they will NOT make you wait for an appointment.
