Hello BL'ers!

Today Dec 6, and precisly 2:05PM I was in a car accident. I was slowing down, almost to a complete stop to turn left onto a street. Right as I started to hit the gas to move and take the left, a car behind me going 45-50mph slammed into the back of causing my to fly into a hill-bank causeing me to fly forward and hit my head on my sterring wheel. I blacked out after that. I wake up to my girlfriend trying to open my side door on the phone with 911. (I was going to pick her up) I opened my eyes and I had "shutter" vision and everything was flashing fast like when i looked into the sky. My neck was in alot of pain where I could not move it. I already have a cracked rib from before and it is not more broken than before so I am noe reliving that pain again. Once the ambulance and fire department came, they got into the car and strapped me up in a neck brace and had to cut me out of my seatbelt. They pulled me into a hard lift and took me to the ambulance and hooked me up to an IV. A copwent through my car and found my glasses casses. He comes into the ambulance to talk to me asking why there is a straw and razor blades in my glasses holder. I told i used the razors to cut wires when i fix xboxes. And I told him I always chew on straws i guess I just put it in there. After my dad pulled some strings and had tha evidence pushed away as if they never found it. I dont do coke anymore so that is about 10months old. Anyways, I go to the hospital and they give me a CAT scan to check my head/neck. I get back and they IV'd dalli's into me which did not help enough at first so they dosed me again leaving me in a little bit of a standable pain. They also injected me with Ativan muscle relaxer (2mg). After they checked my levels, the sent me home.

I get home and get my scripts filled. They give me 30 5/500 Hydrocodone and 10 1mg Ativan. I already have a opiate tolerance to a some what high level. As in a 40mg Opana sets me into a good mood. But this medicine they have me on now is not helping for the pain at all. I still feel the Dilli's some what, but I just took 25mg Hydro about 40min ago and feelig very good. But the thing is I dont want to need to take 5-7 of my hydro's just to get some what pain relife. I know tomarrow morning I am oging to really feel this pain, and I know i'm going to suffer because my hydro's wont help because I cant just do as much as I need cause then I will be screwed when I'm all out. I'm going to take 1 every 4 hours, and once I run out I'm out. But what if I'm in the pain im in now down the road when I run out. Should I tell them to up my dose because the 5/500 dont help? Or should I wait a couple days and call my doctor and tell him.

Thank you for taking the time to read my post, legit answers will be needed more!!!
 
Sorry man, we don't really allow "what should I say to my doctor" threads, so I have to close this.

I will say however that if your pain is being under-treated you should bring that to your doctors attention ASAP, and if you're tolerant to opiates it's a good idea to mention that to your doctor despite what anxieties you may have if you're injured.
 
I'm sorry to hear about your bad luck story mate.

Unfortunately we are not allowed to discuss how to get doctors to prescribe you medications, it's all outlined in the BLUA and BDD Guidelines linked in my sig.

Just be honest with your doctor about the pain, it's all you can do.
