More pain

[Guest guest]

Hi Everyone,

I went shopping last night for an outfit to wear to a wedding and a wedding gift

and was only shopping for 2hours. I am in soooo much pain today. I took my

regular dose of Oxycontin 40mg and percocet 10/325mg at 6am but my pain is a 5

on a scale of 1-10. I was so swollen yesterday. I looked 6months pregnant. I

hadn't had a bowel movement in two days so I took my Milk of Magnesia and that

took care of that problem but I am still having the god awful pain. I called my

pain doctor and he uped my Oxycontin 40mg to three times a day instead of twice

a day and told me to stop the percocet. My pain doc always takes whatever pain

med you are on away when he stops it because they want to make sure you take me

correctly, so I asked the nurse if they wanted it back and she said no that I

will be trusted not to take it. Well I have a problem with taking my med

earlier than I should and use to abuse Lortab along time ago so I called my mom

and asked her if she would keep my percocet pills for me so the enticement will

not be there. It's sad to say that I have to be treated like a child but I

don't want to abuse my medicine since the pain doc is so strict I take it like I

am suppose to so I won't run out.

Patty Iam so sorry that you are experienceing more pain. Walking

always did me in too. I dont think you are acting childish at all

asking your mom to hold you percocet. I think standing on the side

of cuation is always wise.

You had written that the doc told you that you needed 60% of your

panc removed and you would be a diabetic. Shoot sug, if that is the

case I think you should seriously think and discuss with your docs

about the total with auto islet cell transplant. One surgey beats

the heck out of two. I dont think they do it the the Ky hospital

you referred to but I know first hand they do it at U of Cincy. I

received excellent care there. It is certainly worth a long

discussion with your docs.

I have bookoo info on it thanks to (aka goutbuster) and if you

like I can send it to you. They are mostly in adobe acrobat so you

need that program on your system to read them. Let me know.

I have to run shortly and pick up my kids from school and wont be

back for a while. Do you have a computer at home or just at work?

Either way, email me at cdrrn@... if you want them so I will

have your address.

I hope you feel better. You not what used to really just wipe me

out. Pushing a grocery store cart. With a family of 5 it fills up

quickly and I could never push it without have horrible pains.

Thank goodness I didn't have one in a stroller then and my kids are

big enough to push the buggy for me; or atleast help by pulling

while I just steared. Did you ask your Mom is she can go with you

to the MRCP? If I lived closer, I would take you, but you would

have to buy lucnh..LOL!

Warmly,

Patty, I am sorry that you are having worse pain today. I know how

discouraging it gets. I hope that the change in medicine helps to

calm things down again for you.

Take care
