So had my post op appointment today with my surgeon , who carried out my laparoscopy 3 months ago.. I tried to ask questions.. like why is my pain worse now than it was prior my op? .. his response was 'well I removed the Endo so you shouldn't be in pain' ..
I then went on to express that I have to take pain killers all day every day including codeine.. which I don't like as it makes me drowsy.. to which his response was ' we can try you with morphine'
'you have 3 options.. you can start using the marina coil, have an ultrasound or another laparoscopy' ..
He then told me I can think about it..
As you can all imagine.. I am so frustrated & angry.. non of my questions was actually answered.. & I don't want to have an opiate addiction.. nor do I want more invasive surgery.. I'm already on the mini pill.. I don't want to put a foreign object in my body that may make my pain worse..
How about.. 'we can refer you to a pain team' or 'some physio therapy may help' or even 'you can try non-opiate meds' .. that would of been better choices..
I'm sick and tired of just having pain killers thrown at my face like that's the only answer..
There needs to be more done! Something needs to change! 💪
