Fractured wrist in 2 places. ER doc gave me 3 days of pain meds. I saw Dr Taylor on day 4 and was told to take OTC Tylenol with pain level 10/10 until surgery 7 days later. A week with so much pain I’m nauseated. I asked for something stronger and Taylor said I’d get pain meds after surgery…in a week. I can’t eat, sleep or do a whole lot. I’m in so much pain. It should be protocol to give stronger pain meds for fractures. It seems reasonable. Last time I took opioids was 18 years ago with a c-section. I’m not an addict. I genuinely have acute intolerable pain. Wrist fractures hurt. 10/10 Ty Tylenol, ice and elevation not helping
Very nice and caring.
Excellent!
