Do any of you feel guilty in asking for pain meds?
It's been 7 months since my surgery, but sometimes i need a pain pill once in a while... I finished the prescription that my surgeon had given me, so last week when i was at my GP's appointment, i told her that i still have some pretty tough pain occasionally but i was out of meds... I've been trying to get by on Advil or aspirin, but sometimes that hardly takes the edge off even... She seemed kinda reluctant to prescribe any for me, but she did finally.... however, i'm almost afraid to take any now ... worrying that if i use them up i won't be able to get any more... I don't want anyone to think i'm taking too many or being too wimpy.
Usually i only need something after i've over-exerted by carrying my granddaughter around more than i should... It's especially hard to rise out of a chair while holding her... even more so now that she's gotten so squirmy..lol
