Suck It Up The Dr Says

[Looking Ahead 239]

Im laying on the bed in so much pain I cant breathe. I called my dr snd his exact words were 'Suck it up'. You just gonna have to deal with it. We all have pain!!!! R you f***** kidding me?!

Pain from what?. The incisions? Drain? Gas?

Sorry to hear this!

[Looking Ahead 239]

From the drain. Im n so much pain I cant walk cant lye down. Just pacing

Sounds like you need a new doctor. That's incredibly insensitvie.

[Minckle 87]

Oh, HELL no. I agree with enigmachik. That is completely not okay. There is no reason for you to be in that much pain - especially with your drain! Go to the ER and send him the bill. And, yes. Find a new doctor!

I'm not having any pain from my drain and haven't taken any meds today. How does your bulb look? They told me if it fills full in less then an hour then I need to come back in. I've yet to have it fill even half full...hope this helps.

I cant believe your doctor told you that. That sounds very rude and unprofessional. :-(

[Spatters3 315]

absolutely! Any doctor who isn't concerned about his patient's level of pain deserves to be horse whipped. What a putz! Were you given any prescription pain medication? Hopefully liquid loritab.

Sorry to hear is it draining? Does it look infected?

[MinaT 669]

I'm so sorry. I had my drain for 9 days and each day became harder. Have you stripped it to make sure there were no clots?

I started finding myself hyper-focusing on the drain because it was bugging me. You are only a week out and I remember how I felt at that time.

I have Lupus so my body was attacking the drain and you can see it was starting to get infected. I hope they are taking it out soon (in a day or two??) The drain is a foreign body and I would imagine all bodies will want to start rejecting whether or not you have Lupus.

I swear you feel much better when the drain is out and my prayers are with you.

[Looking Ahead 239]

Its draining 10 cc a day. Not infected. Im walking n Walmart w my mom to see if that helps

[BigD 4]

My guess would be then that your body just wants it out. I hope that will be soon for you!

[ready4change79 26]

Oh honey. I hate that you feel bad. But your Dr should listen even if you say your toe nail is hurt. I would tell him he can deal with it . The audacity of this. I feel so bad. Do what you need to do. Go to Er or anywhere else to feel better. I hope you feel better soon.

I did not have to have a drain so I have no advice on that. Im so sorry to hear you are in so much pain, I hope it gets better!

[Territravel 217]

Why do you still have a drain? Mine had to come before I left the hospital on day two. They really do things different in Mexico.

That's very insensitive of your Doctor; no bedside manners at all. Prayers and hugs going out to you now!
