Should I call the Dr.?!
Question: Should I call the Dr..?
I had a laparoscopy 8 days ago. I had endometriosis adhesions removed. I was told it wasn't bad. I also had one tube tied since the Dr. couldn't count to two when she did it 6 months ago. We found this out during the surgery. Anyway..I was given Dilaudid 2 mg. and Ibuprofen 800 mg. The Dilaudid was supposed to be taken for a few days..one every 4 hours. I am still hurting bad. I have had to take 2 Dilauded at a time. The ibuprofen does nothing. Today I have been having bad cramps (like menstrual cramps). I took Ibuprofen first. It didn't touch it. Then I took 2 Dilaudid. I am better, but am still in pain. Is this normal 8 days after surgery.? Should I call the Dr..? I haven an appt. on Mon. for my post op.Health Question & Answer
Answers:
I have had two laparoscopys for endometriosis. I never take pain meds,(they make me sick) just ibuprofen. (careful.. use that strength too long and you could have sever ear ringing like I did. That made me stop it at that point.) I don't remember having intense pain that long afterward. It doesn't sound right to me. I would definitely let your doctor know. Did you do any strenuous activity too soon after surgery that might slow your healing.?Health Question & Answer
I don't think you should still be experiencing that much pain. I would definetly call the doctor,maybe you can go tomorrow. Good luck.Health Question & Answer
I would call the doctor in the AM. Dilaudid is very strong pain medication and unless you are a habitual drug user you shouldn't be hurting that badly 8 days after surgery.Health Question & Answer
WHAT did you experience during endometrosis i think i may have it!.?Health Question & Answer
Sorry you are in so much pain.
I would definitely recommend that you call your doctor/surgeon tomorrow at 9am sharp.
Sounds like you need another narcotic to help with the pain. Be careful with the ibuprofen because it can do damage to your stomach. Do not go over the prescribed amount and make sure you take it with food in your stomach.
If you cannot get an appointment tomorrow and the pain is the same OR worse, go to the ER or an urgent care center.Health Question & Answer
