Re: Lap done today and NOT GIVEN ANY PAIN MEDS

Any dr. who would refuse pain meds after surgery, in my mind, doesn't
believe our pain and does not care about his patients. Yes, there are
plenty of patients who come to their dr.'s or to their local ER just in
search of pain meds when they don't need them, (I work in a hospital and
am referring to general public-not endo patients), but this is not the
same! It is obsurd to think that one wouldn't be in pain after they have
been cut up and had their insides messed with. I envy those that can
take some naproxen, ibuprofen or motrin and have it work. I have tried
that on many, many occasions and it never worked for me. When I was
younger and had the horrible pain but wasn't diagnosed with endo I would
follow the dr.'s instructions to start taking these anti-inflammatorys a
few days before my period-heck I even tried taking it 2 weeks before the
start of my period and never once did it even put a dent in my pain. So
Tracey, I'm with you and like you I havn't heard of a patient not
getting anything. For the original poster, I hope you found someone who
was willing to help you.
