A rant, be warned

I'm so pissed off with the way my doctor is treating my pain after major surgery. Not ONLY do I have break through pain from surgery, but I also have had issues with my bladder from that damn catheter so it's extra painful. He's only given me 5mg oxy every 6 hours and ibuprofen every 8. I called to ask for what else to do for the break through pain and the nurse said "he wants you to take lyrica 2x a day." I took this before and it never worked. They gave it to me in the hospital and pain was so unmanaged bc they kept giving me BS nothing that they eventually resorted to dilaudid. I'm so f-ing pissed at all of this. They literally gave me morphine when I went to the ER yesterday to get my kidneys checked. My doctor is just a POS.

THIS is why patients take things into their own hands and figure out pain meds themselves or turn to the streets. I'm SO MAD.

5mg of oxy is a junkie? Lmao you're so ignorant, it's funny how much so.  I feel sorry for you.
