I gave up today calling the pain management doc - plan to get back on that tomorrow. I looked at the label on the prescription that they gave me for breakthrough pain. I can take up to 6 a day - which is 180 pills for a month. But when I called the pharmacy, they told me the doc wrote the script for 120 pills - so now we are at 60 short. The way the script is written cannot be filled that way because the boxes of the med come with 7 - 4 pack pills - so that is now at 112 pills. The 6 a day would be very helpful when I wake up every 2 hours in screaming pain. When someone figures this math out, please let me know - I don't get it and I don't think the morphine has anything to do with this.
I am living in constant pain unless I lay down all day and then on a pain scale of 1 to 10, my pain may go down to between 4-5. If I sit up or stand for more than 30 minutes to an hour, my pain is off the scale. The doc office was not cooperative yesterday - I hope they are more helpful tomorrow. I don't want to live like this - I can't.
Thanks for the continued prayers and support. I think I will now go scream in a pillow as loud as I can and hope that releases something - don't know what yet but hey can't hurt.
More later-
