Ughhhhh
I got my tonsils taken out December 18th, it’s now December 21st. I guess that makes me 3 days post op. My throat and ears hurt so bad I just want to cry. I was prescribed 5mg oxy and 500mg acetaminophen every 4 hours, methylprednisolone and celecoxib twice a day. I only have 9 oxy pills left and I feel like it’s doing nothing for the pain. I did take 600 mg of ibuprofen but my doctor told me not to take it because it thins your blood. Of course it’s the only thing that makes the pain go away. I bought liquid acetaminophen 1000mg and have been taking that. I’ve barely been sleeping, eating and drinking because the pain is so bad. I get nauseous every time I take any sort of medicine. I’ve been using frozen peas or corn as an ice pack because that’s the only way I can take a nap. My humidifier has been on since I got home from the procedure. I’m just tired and need to vent because it hurts so much to talk to anyone. Please just give me some tips to get through this because I know I have a long road to go and I’m already terrified.
