Thank you everyone that responded.
Ed, yes the morphine is working or pain mostly. Towards the end of the 12 hrs it becomes burning pain until i take breakthough IR 15mg morphine but will run out soon.
dr keeps threatening to take me off- the procedure without sedation was horrific and not working yet. he said 4-7 days. i wish i had a dr that i could trust.
Lizbend, i'll think about acupunture but its too much of and emergency to wait to find someone and have it.
Declan, it's 200mg morphine a day and 60 mg IR breakthough a day. i don't know what to do- i have to depend on the mercy of this dr. i'm way too afraid to go to a methadone clinic. It's so terrible, i'm in pain, i can't withdraw from meds - biologically and even slowly because i'm in too much pain. It's a mess. i don't know what will happen.
Squiggles, my psychiatrist today said kind of the same thing you said, i'm a little upset at the way he put it though- he said that both physical and psychological pain can be made better by pain medicine because of endorpins in the brain. So meds can work for psych. pain also. i didn't know that but i still don't think pain is psychological. Dr said he'd call pain management dr anyways.
so tired of worrying- i woke up crying in my sleep. Everything is too hard for me. i can't do anything . It's too much pressure - i can't handle the negativity in that dr's office and how he treated me at the surgery on Monday.
thank you so much for listening,
kerria
