The demorol did not help me either and it made me sick to my stomach. DrHug told them would happen when they were going to give it. But did they listen to the drug man?? Nope, but they did then give me the torodo shot which really knocked the pain. They then gave me a couple of pills to take for longer acting relief and I went back to our room and slept.pyramid2000 said:Angie, they gave me IV demoral when I first got the hospital, then the injection of it later. OUCH!! It really didn't help for very long and I was much more comfortable at home in my own surrounding where I could scream as loud as I wanted!I can't remember what I took at home though.
