Need advice FAST
Ok, you all know that I have been in pain, I feel like I am in constant heavy labor, I can't walk. I am taking pain meds and counted the pills and I don't have enough for the weekend. My hysterectomy is on Moday. I checked yesterday and I could have sworn that I had enough but it turns out that I was looking at the wrong bottle. I have been out of it and should have made somebody else make sure I had enough, but I didn't. My husband just called the clinic and there is only one Dr. there on Sat. and he won't refill my pills.He knows my sister and came right out and said that I was either being like my sister (hooked on pills) or I am trying to get the pills for her. and if they really are for me that I can wait till monday. but I CANT!!! I'm scared and don't know what to do. I can't walk, I can't move when I'm not on them. I hunch over and cry cause it hurts SO bad. I throw up it hurts so bad. My husband begged the Dr. to call my regular Dr. and have him explain what is going on but he wont. He won't even look at my file to see what is happening to my body. Can anybody tell me what I can do? I just took my last pill and have 2 hours to figure this out. I don't know what to do!!! I would rather die than live in that kind of pain. I won't kill myself, but that is how bad it is. I know I won't make it without my pills. I had to go see the Gyno yesterday to talk to him and decide if the hyst. is indeed the way to go and I couldn't take any pain meds then cause I had to sign papers and I also had my pre-opt yesterday without meds, and by the time I was...cont
Im so glad that you got your pain meds, good luck for tomorrow, i'll be praying for you :)
thanks for your help and all of your advice. It helps that there are pepople out there that are praying and thinking good thought for me. I don't know what I would have done without all of you! I will keep you posted about the surgery and recovery. Thank you all!!
hi i have had an itch in my aneal and i was wondering if you might know what this would be your help would be a great help
thanx

Nalla,
Yes my post was written after I read that he had your chart available and just refused to check it. Most places are going or have gone "Paperless" and everything is readily available at the fingertips of the keyboard.
There is NO excuse for this doctor to have assumed and treated you this way no matter what history your sister had or what was availabe to him. I understand that there are drup seekers out there. I have worked in a Medical office and dealt with those looking for a fix, but Medical providers can't assume the worst as this leads to suffering of honest patients which leads to complaints being filed and lawsuits in some cases. I really think that it was this "on call" idiot being lazy and complacent. I hate to beat a dead horse but it just bugs the **** outta me that you had to be treated this way for no good reason.
I wish that I could be there for you in the way you need, and I have had surgery before but never a hysterectomy so I can't speak empathetically. I can assume that you should prepare yourself to be in the bed for a bit so make sure you will have help at home to take care of you and the little ones. Hopefully it will be a very quick recovery and you will have us to talk to while you rest and recover!
We'll be thinking of you tomorrow!

when I had called the Dr.he was in the clinic, not the ER. On Sat.there is one DR. at the clinic. It's open for 6 hours. And that dr was also the Dr on call after the clinic closed and then he goes over to the ER. And everybodys files are on computers at the clinic and the hospital. At the time I called the clinic was still open and he refused to look at my files. He could have easily just checked the computer, everything is on there.
I'm just glad that my Dr came in and happens to be the chief of staff and he said he would take care of this other stupid DR. There will definatly be a complaint against this Dr. if he already isn;t in trouble.
I do agree with who_dis, there are people out there that do go up there begging for meds. and he does know about my sisters history, but he shouldn't have just assumed I was like that. He should have checked into it first.
I can't believe that this time tomorrow I will be in surgery getting a hysterectomy. I would never have thought this would ever happen. I have had a lot of surgeries, but am scared to death about this. It's making me dizzy just trying to get my mind around all these different feelings that I'm having. I just want it to be over. I need to talk to somebody that understands what I'm feeling.

Nalla,
I'm so sorry you had to go through such a panic when it was as simple as that Doc looking in your chart. I hope you file a complaint against him if for no other reason than to keep it from happening to another patient in your position in the future.
So sad that you not only had to be in pain, worried about a pending surgical procedure, and then for him to top it all off by treating you like a criminal. He needs to pay for his assumption and maybe next time he'll get off his lazy butt and do his job!
I know Monday will be hard and scary, but think about how much better you are going to feel very soon!

I'm sorry, I worded things wrong and wasn't thinking that you specificaly thought that I was abusing. I just wnated to make sure to let everyone on here know what was going on and my mind has been very foggy and I was very stressed at the time thinking what I was going to have to go through for the next 2 days. Being on the computer it's hard to get across exactly what and how you want to say something. I went back and read what you wrote and understand what you were talking about. I wasn't directing all of that to you and I'm sorry if I upset you. and these pills make everything confusing to me and what I say may come out wrong, so I'm sorry if I said anything to upset you. I know you don't think I am a druggy. I just wanted to let everybody else know that because it kinda sounded like thats what I was. My head is more clear now and I remember you have responded to many of my posts.
and I'm just so happy that this will be over soon!
I hate feeling all drugged up but at least it's really helping the pain. We are still at my parents house and it's been so great! Everybody is helping me out so much!
Well I just took a pill about 15 min ago and my head is starting to get all dizzy again. so I better take off.
Who_dis, I really am sorry and didn't say things the way that I wanted to. I will probably be on tomorrow because I am scared to death of this surgery.
I will also let you know how things went after the surgery if the hospital has wireless...if not then when I get home/
Thank you all for being there for me. The closer it gets the more scared I get. Hope you all have a great weekend and a Happy Thanksgiving!

I'm so glad you got your medication. I am simply SHOCKED to here the on call doctor just brushed you off like that and wouldnt even look at your file. I would consider laying a formal complaint against him as his behaviour was inappropriate.
FYI--where I live, the "on-call" doc won't call in narcotic pain meds at all. You have to go to the ER. They are extrememly cautious about this. Even if you have a standing prescription, it has to be called in during business hours, by your own doc.
First, I wanted to point out that this isn't even close to moderate pain....It's extreme pain. My uterus is contracting and it feels so much like labor, but I don't get the min inbetween the "contractions"like when yuo are in labor and this pain makes me sick to my stomach when it gets so bad that I can't take it. I handled a non medicated labor for 19 hours better than this. I have tried several non narcotic meds with this and it didn't even touch the pain. and I haven't taken more than what is precribed. I follow exactly what the directions say on the bottle. So I'm not abusing this medication, but I do need it for the pain. I'm not sure anybody here understands exactly how much pain I really am in. I just needed to stress this because it's a sensitive subect for me because my sister is hooked on narcotics and needs to be in rehab. So if anything I am even more careful about following the directions and taking them exactly like I'm supposed to.
If that Dr would have just looked into my file then he would have seen that it was time to re-fill.
But luckely my regular Dr(who just happens to be the chief of staff of the clinic and hospital) called me back and asked what was going on and came into to town and wrote me my prescription and will be having a little talk to that Dr. thta just brushed me off. So I got my meds to last me till the surgery.
thanks all for the advice.
who_dis-- I guess you hadn't read any of my other posts about what has been going on with me. But thanks for the advice. :)
Wish me luck with my hyst. on monday...kinda starting to freak out a little. I will probably post tomorrow for some comforting words and prayers. have a good night guys!
thanks to all that tried to help and I thank God that it turned out. I was pretty freaked there for awhile/

Do you think Ultram would work? It works best on nerve pain such as that associated with toothache type pain or what it was intended for, diabetic neuropathy. I suppose it wouldn't hurt to try it, but perhaps you would have better luck with another type of narcotic, maybe you could talk them into a lower dose (hey something is better than nothing, right) or a different med altogether.
Good luck to you,
Andi
Good luck to you,

i would go to a different town, surely just by looking at you they would see how much pain you are in and they couldnt send you away. I cannot believe you are being treated like this, i feel so sorry for you.
I'm so stupid that I didn't double check to make sure it was the right bottle or should have made somebody else do it. I am sitting here kicking myself, I know right now I sound like I am an addict and am addicted because I'm so panicked, but if you go back and look at all my other posts you will understand what is going on.
The Dr that is up there right now won't give me the meds because he knows my sister is an addict and is assuming that I am to. I tried to call my reg Dr, at home and no answer, but left a message, The Gyno that is doing the hysterectomy I can't get ahold of. maybe I should just go to a different town and to another ER and maybe get a shot. I'm so scared.
You could, I would if I were you. If the pain is bad enough that it make you sick, you should be able to get something. Can you get YOUR dr's home number and call him? Maybe he can call in a prescription for you or call the other Dr and tell him that you need these pills.
This is a very small town and the Dr at the clinic is the Dr. on call all weekend in the ER. Do I go to a different town??
By the time I was done I was basicaly crawling through the halls of the hospital cause the pain was so bad, I threw up and then the nurse saw me and took me to my Dr and gave me a pain shot. I'm so scared, what do I do? This guy is being a d**k. He doesn't even know me, he is just asuming I'm like my sister/ He won't eben call my Dr. I'm so scared, what do I do???
