I'm absolutely terrible. The pain from the surgery is unbearable. The pain meds barely do anything. :(
What happens when you mention the pain to the medical staff? Are you out patient or in?
It's small comfort to know the pain decreases. I remember a surgery of mine and the pain was... Unrelenting and deep. They gave me effective meds, eventually, though. I mean, what they gave me worried my wife because it was - or could have been - addictive.
Lucked out that didn't happen. But the point is, meds exist that help, I'd think.
The surgery was outpatient. They can't do anything more for me currently. I'm on Vicodin every 6 hours and aspirin twice a day. I was also told that I can take some ibuprofen if I need it. The pain is actually a bit better right now. I managed to get some sleep and it seems to have helped a lot
I'm glad sleep helped. Rebuilding and healing take a lot of energy.
Hope you continue to see steady improvement and can get back to launching kayaks (if that is, indeed, your thing).
Thank you! I haven't launched a kayak in a long time because my kayaking partner and I have been hella busy. My goal is to just get back to my own house asap lol.
