Hit him up for better pain meds! And don't delay! It is a touchy subject these days with the oxycontin abuse and all, but pain management is legit and so is your injury.

absolutely... My boss calls those "vitamins." Hit him up for something different.

I've taken vicodin before. It doesn't do shit. At the very least get some percocets 5/325's.

The one good thing about VA hospitals is they don't skimp on pain meds. After my injury and resulting surgery(s) they gave me a freaking bucketload of pain meds. I literally still have some from my surgery 3 years ago. As already stated, just tell your doc that the pain meds are not doing enough.

On a side note, screws suck, but screwing does not.

I'm with everyone else on this one Pips I've got allot of screws and they're not coming out so I can empathize and from a couple of buddies who've had them where you have them I've heard it's worse. Hope they get you on the right meds and you heal up quickly!

thanx halo can always count on some support from u bro.

yeah bro... viconden aint shit... neither is loratab for pain like that... I would recomend percocet ...5/500

Thats what is helping em get through this screw i have in my forearm... and to add insult to injury... the doc says I should DEEPLY RUB the scar area... I am no pussy... but I almost cried the first time I did that shit....

All in all... you will make it through this bro.

Good luck and have a speedy recovery!
