Requested An Appointment For Managing The Nausea My Pain Is Experiencing
[ Tuesday October 29th 2024 at 12:59 pm ]
When I had the appointment with my hip surgeon yesterday he wanted me to be seen by a pain specialist. I said there was already a pain doctor involved in my care. Since his office has been responsive to me when I have asked for an appointment in the past I figure they will trust me relaying a message from my surgeon to discuss the nausea I am experiencing. The nausea is overwhelming. My life is all but shut down right now. I really need to get the nausea under control. My pain doctor did prescribe medication for this in spring 2024. This has worked during the period when my damn artificial left hip was making a grinding noise. When I began feeling my damn artificial left hip biting me in late August it stopped. Experiencing nausea caused by pain is extremely debilitating. I am making silly mistakes on account of this. It has impacted friendships I have. I am not able to work on my goals because of being exhausted and having struggles focusing. The 12 hour Gravol stopped working when the instances of the biting became more frequent. I have just left a message for my pain doctor's medical secretary explaining what I now need and why. I am hoping this is able to happen by mid November. I am trying my best to help myself. I don't want my life wrecked or shut down. Dealing with the nausea has been very difficult.
