Pain at 6 weeks post-op
Lunchlady,
So sorry you are having issues
I hate when Drs make you feel like your a drug addict or your askng for something unreasonable.
What kind of pain are your having? Have you tried a heating pad? Also how many motrin/ibuprofen are you taking at one time? Try taking 600mg at night, it might help.
I work in a pharmacy and the presciption strength ibuprofen, which is generic Motrin is 800mg. So, maybe try 600mg.
Also, are you trying to do to much? My Dr says when the pain gets bad, slow down, it means you are doing to much.
Hang in there!!! I hope you feel better

Pain at 6 weeks post-op
I am going to do fine I am sure on the OTCD, my frustration was I fiddled with this situation for 3 hours going back and forth between the dr's office and the pharmacy~~~IF~~~when I called the pharmacy at 2pm and they told me they did not receive a return fax from the dr's office after they had faxed one on Weds~~then I called the dr's office and the receptionist went and talked to the nurse and she had said she did send it and got a confirmation WHY did the nurse not tell me then I was not to be getting it??? And the dr wanted me to try Aleve?? Nope she said she would refax it?? I just do not understand what the heck was she faxing and I talked to his office twice and the receptionist talked to her twice so why could she not just pick up the phone and talk to me?? Instead I had to hear it from some strange ole pharmacy teck
I am not so mad about not getting the drugs I do understand adctions and all that~~~my hurt/insult is the problems I have had with this office
BUT!! I am off to the mall to day with both of my wonderful DD's for a bit of fliting and lunch That will perk me up~~~hopefully my belly will not be so swelly so I can try on pants
