Hello everyone, How's summer up there?
I have just got off the phone to my doctor who now feel my post op pain
is due to a nerve being damaged. He feels if they put a local
anaesthetic in and it still hurts it is probably an adhesion and not
nerve damage. Has anyone else had this done. He also told me that
adhesions should be left for three to four months before removal, is
this correct?
I think Aussie doctors are more apprehensive about dealing with
adhesions than Americans.
P.S. I don't think i like the sound of your nurses up there if they all
think like Nurse Anonymous and her? views on pain relief in the
emergency ward, E.R. obviously makes things look pretty good by
comparison!!
