Re: Lap done today and NOT GIVEN ANY PAIN MEDS

I"m in more pain than expected. I'm actually awake right now @ 4am NY time, and i cannot get to sleep. I don't know what to do, if I should call the doctor tomorrow?, will she just yell at me like she did in the hospital when I asked what she was going to give me.

all they gave me was 600mg motrin, and I take that on a daily basis sometimes...

I even tried taking a xanax (that my Grandmother gave me out of pitty, she said she couldn't stand to hear me whimper in pain)

the thing is I've gotten pain killers from a doc for a lot less......and i actually NEED them right now....i don't understand why the are so andament about letting you "tough it out"

I know the pain will only be 48-72 hours but i don't really feel like "suffering" through it.
