Surgery not wanting pain meds after

I don’t want pain meds after my surgery I have terrible side effects on medications when I had my back surgery’s as a kid they had me on morphine I flipped out throwing things swearing at the nurses I know I was just a kid at the time I asked doc will this surgery be as bad as my back surgery’s he said no I think I’ll be fine am I nuts for not wanting pain meds?

 

That depends on what the surgery is, what its for and whether its possible for you to have an epidural.. Following whatever surgery, I think it is unwise not to want analgesics. I have and am wearing morphine patches, a large bottle of oromorph and a box of DF118s (Dihydrocodeine and Paracetomol).

 

There's one called Tramadol, Jennifer. I find it useful in treating sciatica, which I'm experiencing today incidentally. You could ask about it if you're curious.

But at higher doses it is a respiratory suppressant.*

 

I have a pre-cancerous mass on my pancreatic tail

 

They will have me and ICU after I get out of surgery and I will have a tube down my throat don’t know how long that’ll be in me

 

It’s protocol with the person who has lung problems to be put and ICU right after surgery they will have me on a ventilator during surgery hopefully I will do fine with that and I will come off of that soon

 

omg!

That's so serious. :-S

I hope everything works out. I know they were complaining of ventilator shortages in some places.

 

I have a ventilator at home it’s noninvasive ventilator those are what they are using for people with the virus the ventilator that I would have during surgery actually goes down my throat

 

That is the ventilator that I use at home I retain carbon monoxide poisoning and this gets the O2 out

 

Better pics of it

 

I wish I had some morphine. I don't get how you're not happy about it. Lucky.

 

I'm sorry. I hope you're not in too much pain. Good luck.

 

Happy about morphine? I had a terrible side effects from that shit why would I put myself threw that again?

 

I know you're tough, but you need to toughen up, Jen. Think outside the box a little.

 

I Honestly I have no idea what you mean?

 

That's precisely my point. Get a little crazy, girl.

 

You really need to discuss with your doctors.
Obviously your options are limited, due to your respiratory condition. On the occasion that you mentioned, it is possible that this was overlooked when you morphine dose was calculated. All too often specialists in one discipline overlook other conditions that can inter-react.
Following a bad experience, it is easy to write a treatment off that may have simply been miscalculated.
Any surgery you receive and its after-treatment, MUST involve discussions with your respiratory and cardiac consultant prior to going ahead,

 

You can try recovering without pain meds but have them hand if the pain becomes too severe. Use them when needed and get off them as soon as possible.

 

iv seen many doctors they say iv had these lung problems since I was kid 2 years ago I got sick I kept coughing and wheezing for days my sister and cousin finally convinced me to go into the ER my oxygen was down to 79 they could not figure out why it was so low they did a CT and saw everything I saw A pulmonologist he said my lungs will be fine for surgery I told the surgeon I did not want pain meds then he said there could be a step down from morphine maybe not as strong

 

that’s a good idea
