Pain management and botched surgery
I was only given 8 oxys (along with ibuprofen and Tylenol) to mange the pain from my DJS and genio. I rationed and only used at night, but on day 10 I’m in pain and I have to have a revision surgery next week. I’m really upset with my surgeon, he barely gave me time at my post-op appointment to ask anything, and the time I did have I kind of forgot to say anything because I was given the news that another surgery was needed. Is this a normal amount of pain meds? Even after I told the surgeon he was just like you’ll get more for the second surgery, but no care that I’m in pain right now. The revision includes something for my sinuses because they gave me anything extremely deviated septum and they said something about upper jaw surgery. This has been the hardest week of my life, and the only positive thing was my improvement, but knowing I’ll be set back again I’m not sure what to be positive about.
