Hey guys. So I had my surgery thirteen days ago. The surgery itself went well. My biggest problem is pain. I have had horrible pain right since I was out of surgery. They left the epidural in my spine and hooked it up to a button that I could press that would deliver pain meds right to my hip. I was allowed to press it once every ten minutes and found myself begging for more in less than ten minutes. I was off of the epidural quickly because it fell out of my back by accident. The IV was taken out once the epidural came out and the Foley catheter was removed too. They put me on oral pain meds: I started Norco and Vallium.
Now that I am home, I am still taking the Norco every couple of hours and I rarely take the Vallium. But last night, I was on my way to the bathroom with the walker. In the hallway, I went to take a step, still using the walker, and something in my hip popped and I almost fell to the floor, crying with pain. Ever since then, if I move the wrong way or even the slightest bit in a certain direction, I feel the same pain. This morning, I bent down to get my socks on the floor, and I fell because I felt the same pain. I was crying so hard because not only did it hurt, it scared the crap outta me.
So now, I am not sure what to do. I have been laying on my mom's bed all morning, watching tv. If I move a little bit, I feel the pain. It scares me. I see my surgeon tomorrow for my two week check up. I'm not sure if I can go another night with this pain. And I am not looking for a pill to take away the pain, I feel like something is wrong inside.
So that's my rant lol. Sorry for going all out. Also, check out my new video that I made a little while ago: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J9F5J2QiaHM . I'll try to write posts more often. KBYE <3
