Definitely talk to your neurosurgeon, nerve pain is Common but not normal after surgery, but not comfortable side effect.
 
It's spelled veins FYI, and I don't think that any of us can be of much use to you here, we aren't medical professionals and you aren't an intravenous drug user. There's nothing we can really do for you here, I'm going to merge this with the pain management mega thread.
 
As in, you shouldn't be feeling this kind of pain, you should call your doctors office and leave a message for them to get back to you about this ASAP, I'm not a professional I don't know much about your conditions so I don't feel comfortable giving advice.

Is there anything that you've noticed that either alleviates the pain, or exacerbates it?
 
Uhh laying down and going to sleep is how i usually avoid it if i can. doing anything physical messes me up BAD. I get Dizzy so easy.
 
I can confirm that JKTM IS around and doing okay. I won't post the details but he made it through the night.

Edit: he posted on the last page. I scimmed through too quickly
 
I'm doing okay...missing the xanax (although it was only 1mg QID, when I really need 2-4mg QID) and my pain has been off and on better or worse...avging about a 6-6.5 for the whole day...if I were to start keeping a pain/anxiety diary, any suggestions on how to keep/organize it (i.e. how often, hourly (maybe hourly, every 2 hours, when I dose, daily, what do ya'll suggest); 1-10 scale; rate as mild, mod, severe, extreme/unbareable; should I include food eaten at certain times)?

Any advice will be appreciated

edit: it did take 44mg of clonazepam, 60mg of morphine, and 50mg of seroquel to make me black out though...lmfao...that's gotta be some kinda record considering it didn't happen until the last 14mg of the kpins and the 50mg of seroquel...lol
 
Also, is it really better to SL your benzos (kpins, valiums, xanax, and ativan) or just better to take orally with their high BA?
 
Always sublingual them my man. You've got my pm about how you describe and think about pain, but as for keeping records I would say that every 2-3 hours would be good enough. An even better way to do it would be to record your daily activities and the pain as well as thoughts associated with the tasks/experiences. Remember man you can pm me anytime you want. Even hit my Facebook if youre down with that.
 
I would document each time you take your meds. I would write down med, reason, pain level, time, effectiveness of medication, activity you did before you took the medication. And anything else you feel necessary.

Also a sleep log is good. This can help show how your condition effects your sleep.

I need to start doing this again. Sometimes I forget when I took my last medication. I hate taking it close together.
 
should I document even when I go over my daily limits? even though my parents are controlling my meds, I showed my mom the graph of how butrans goes up and down in your plasma, and showed her where I was and she went and got me an extra kpin for it...

Just everything from my calfs up are killing me front and left up to my waist, my entire back and neck are in pain, and I'm having minor chest pain (like a soreness)...

what sucks is that I'm only 1/4 of the way down the graph until I switch patches again...whoever thought of a 7 day patch was a fucking retard who doesn't understand pain at all...

All I got for breakthrough is tylenol, advil, and 3 tramadol a day to be taken separately, and it's fucking killing me...sorry for the bitch fit...wasn't trying to bitch...just stoned and typed what came to mind lol...I gotta stop that too...I am however quitting smoking...day 2 on the patch...I've smoked a little bit, but now it's nothing...no way to afford anything...once again...not trying to bitch...just saying this somewhere to avoid unneeded (and yes, you spell it that way) anxiety from bottling it in...

I just don't know what to do when 6mg of kpin/day doesn't even reliever the anxiety from pain and noises of niece and nephew getting shrill...

Got a Dr.s appt. on monday morning...I get to find out if I'm fired or not...I'm having my sister to go with me to explain that my parents are controlling my meds and that I'm not going to try to pull any antics like that, but we'll see...about to start looking up psychs in my area (even over 50 miles away) to see if they'll accept a new patient considering the circumstances...they just gotta take blue cross blue shield...

edit: and if I were to rate today:

pain: 7
depression: 7.5 (a lot of apathy)
anxiety: 6 (the apathy is helping with that)

btw...anyone have any luck with effexor...I'm on the 150mg...
 
Glad you made it through everything JKTM, stay strong and keep posting...it helps trust me.

As for me, the folks were gone last 3 days, and since PM Doc appt is not for 10+ days and I've only been tested once in 7 months I picked up some medical cannabis but got WAYYYYY to high, to my own detriment since my sister and the parents house keeper kept calling the folks to tell them how high as fuck I was.

Made for a pleasant wake up today, straight into the barrage....oh well, the bud helps with the pain (on top of my meds) but I am certainly not like I used to be with tolerance to cannabis, and I can hardly remember the last 2 nights. Gotta shape up on that end.

Plus, these 2 surgeries in 6 months has helped me put on all the weight I lost in rehab last year and makes my strung out OC-days at 180 lbs (I am 6'5) much to be desired.

Still waiting on MRI results, I am so fucked if they come back showing problems with the fusing of the bone or union of the titanium rods coming from two separate directions (3 seperate approaches in 3 surgeries).

I guess showing slow healing but no physical problem is a problem for me too as it puts me in a position of having my meds cut down despite the fact I am still in so much freaking pain.

Hope everyone has an enjoyable weekend...

I've been taking the same for over a year after going through 7 other ADs and a whole hosts of very unpleasant side effects and little relief from crippling depression.

It took a while for it to settle down but I've had great success with it, it's stabilised my mood to a great extent,I've managed to do a course of CBT and a few positive things in my life.

I dread to think what kind of state I'd be in after the last 2-3 months, I was getting back on my feet with al sorts of things before I had an motorbike accident, it's been a struggle in many ways but I've not fallen back into the darkness as yet.
 
I don't think the shots I got last week worked. I had then in my sacral hip area. I think it helped with the local bone pain. What should the shots have done? What were the intended results? I know I probably should ask my dr. But I feel like if I do he may think I'm fishing for answers to tell him on my next visit. Idk.
