Hi Amy, sorry to hear that you are having pain. Call your surgeon because he/she knows much more about your surgery than anyone. Your surgeon may want to see you and/or send you to ER. However, don't delay in calling your surgeon whenever you feel that something is not right and/or you are in pain. If you cannot reach your surgeon then me, myself, I would go to the ER and just make sure that they know that you had surgery and what type of surgery you had.
Keep us posted.
Hugs

It sure is good C'ING LESS OF ME!
We could learn a lot from crayons:
some are sharp, some are pretty,
some are dull, some have weird names,
& all are different colors....but they
ALL exist very nicely in the same box.

take good care of yourself and big hugs!!

Glad the new pain med seems to be working. As everyone has already stated, if you are unsure of anything, call you Dr's office. There is no such thing as a dumb/stupid question. They are there for you to help you through.
I was lucky and had -0-, nada, none, pain 3 hrs. after surgery. I was very happy about that as I have a very low pain tolerance.
Feel better and hoping to see you at the next LB coffee.
