<b>Shuckydarn!</b> I'm in pain. I had periodontal surgery yesterday and I am really having a lot of miserable pain because of it.

I have Vicodin to take and it dulls the pain for about two hours. The problem is that I can only take them every 6 hours. I would take two at a time but I was only given 8. If I took them two at a time I would be out of meds and really suffering over the weekend. I don't want to do that.

I'm also taking Ibuprophen every 4 hours to try to get some relief but nothing seems to stop this throbbing in my jaw.

I took the pain meds at 7:30 this morning and I'm just so miserable now. I would take the pain meds a little early but I have to drive mother to the hospital for her radiation treatment at 12:30 and I don't want to drive while on narcotics. So, I have to wait until 2 or 2:30 when we get back home before I can take another Vicodin.

Thank you, my friends, for letting me whine. I know whining doesn't help but there is nothing else I can do at the moment I would whine to my mother but mouth pain seems so insignificant compared to what she is going through. I'm just being a big baby.

Okay, I think I've reached my time limit for self pity today. I think I'm going to go and call the periodontist and see what he suggests. I'm not looking forward to having another night like last night. Not much sleep. Maybe that's why I'm so whiny...not enough sleep last night.

Sorry to hear about your pain. Hope it feels better soon. It's perfectly ok to whine, everybody does it.

Awww, Kath, you poor thing.

Definitely do call your doctor, it doesn't sound right that you are in that much post-op pain.

Hope you're feeling better soon!

I hope you are feeling better soon, nativetxn. Having you mouth and jaw ache is one of the worst feelings in the world, imo. I hope the doctor can give you some suggestions to help a little. {{{ hugs }}}

 

[FOJMO]

I would DEFINITELY call and ask for a refill on your pain meds. I can't believe they only gave you 8!!! When I'm given pain med, it always 30 count and it's a generic for Vicodin. Sometimes I have to take 1-1/2. That's an option for you if the pain is really bad.

Call them NOW!

 

[pajamommy]

Awww, you poor thing! I hope you feel better ASAP!!!

They only wrote you out an RX for 8 Vicodin? Sheesh! I'd be calling back and asking for a refill!

Sorry you are in so much pain.
