In ALOT of pain after gall bladder surgery, HELP?!
Question: In ALOT of pain after gall bladder surgery, HELP!?
I had the surgery last night around 8pm!. I had to stay over at the hospital last night they gave me a mix of morphine in my IV and oxycodone pills ever 6 hours!. I felt GREAT!. They put me to bed at 11 and i fell alseep around 12!. I got up at 2 feeling so WONDERFUL!!!!!! I even asked the nurse to walk!. I had pain but I think it was the morphine making me strong!. I even probaly took a half mile walk with my husband this am!. All the nurses where surprised (or just saying it to make me proud and it work!!)
However I left this morning around 11am took oxycodone and feel HORRIBLE!! I can barely move!. Its contant pain!. Hurts to breathe!. Been sleeping on and off
I'm wondering what I can do to help the pain!?
This was my 1st time having surgery so I don't know what to expect!.
No i'm not askin how to get morphine, just some "at home" treatment I can do to help with pains and if this is normal!? I'm thinking so!. On a scale one to ten, i'm an Ten!. I can't imagine pain worse then this!.

I had my gallbladder removed the old fashion way, about a 6 inch cut in the middle of my stomach!. The gave me Vicodin which really helped!. The Percocet, which is Oxycontin, is a fast acting pain reliever and may need adjusted to a higher dose!. The morphine, which is MS Con-tin is a time released pain medication, also have MS Con tin I!. R!.(Instant release)!. I would get back on the morphine because you will have some pain for a couple of days, but I don't think it should be a ten!. Maybe your surgeon didn't do something right, but only time will tell!. I suppose you had the microscopic surgery, three little holes, and when moving the gall ladder out of those small holes, could be painful, if that is what they do!. But if I was you, I would try to get the morphine or the Vicodin, and you should feel really good in a couple more days!. I think you overdone yourself with the long walking and all!. You should do complete rest for at least two days!. I wish for you the very best young lady!. Good luck and may your pain go away quickly and you heal as fast!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
Call your surgeon, you will get his service at this time of day, unless you are in the Pacific time zone! Tell them that you are going through unbearable pain!. oxycodone is some strong stuff, but there is different doses out there! The only way you will get back on the morphine though, is to be admitted back into the hospital!. Anywho, call your Doctor, your pain should not be that bad now anyway!.!.!.there may be complications to your operation!Www@Answer-Health@Com
My sister just had this done the same way you did!. She had complications and had to go back to the hospital!. You may want to call your doctor!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
