Was this extremely minor surgery, or something more typical? Normally you should get a visit by the charge nurse for the OR you'll be in, the anesthetist, and the surgeon before a surgery. Nurse confirms your personal details and makes a verbal confirmation of the exact surgery you're getting, along with your initial drug to start making you drowsy/calm. Anesthetist goes over your medical history and questions about any previous issues with anesthetic or general drug interactions, and then the doc gives you the general overview of what will happen during surgery.

Sorry, I'm not trying to drag this conversation back but I want to answer the question I was asked.

The first was very minor. The second was not life threatening, but involved multiple steel plates in my face. For the second I had a nurse confirm who I was and banter with me a bit, then wheel me in. I said hello to the surgeon and that was about it. I was warned that one of the steel plates was going immediately next to a major nerve and he would do his best not to damage it but the location was absolutely necessary. (He ended up skipping one of the screws to avoid more damage to the nerve, gave me partial numbness that lasted for four years. I can still feel one of the screw heads if I run a finger over my gums).

This was in the nicer hospital in Eugene, OR. It was a bit fast and loose. I asked for an ibuprofen once and they gave me oxy.

It's crazy how much has changed even in the last few years. My whole hospital had giant decals on the doors of every elevator for a while warning about opioid addiction and numbers to get help. My dad complains that all the doctors are "stingy" now since he can't just walk into any office and get a scrip like be used to. He does have legitimate chronic pain but I'm not sure it's something he needed quite that many oxy for.

A friend of mine is going to pain management for hip pain she's had for 16 years that has left her only able to walk a few feet at a time before she begins sobbing.

They're going to cauterize nerves in her spine "to see if that helps".

They won't prescribe her anything besides ibuprofen. The over-correction is loving insane.

That's just it. I got 10 10mg hydros for a root canal. Which by default means I couldn't feel poo poo.

Docs will write a script for anything that's a one-off, but long-term pain is now met with "lol idk suck it up or we can melt your spine, wuss"

In the UK unless you really cry you don't get anything at all, just advice to take ibuprofen

that said after both having my wisdom tooth shattered out of my mouth and a root canal there was way less lingering pain than i'd been led to believe so oxy seems insanely overkill

No for chronic pain they usually refer you to a pain clinic, who will still write you scripts but usually with a few hoops to jump through.

When my leg was amputated when I was eight I woke up so dazed and doped that I had no idea where I was and no memory of the operation being a thing. So I threw off the covers and was going to walk out then I saw my leg was gone and went "Oh, right...".

I will not shut up about the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers. I talk about them all the time and work them into every conversation I have. I built a shrine in my room for the yellow one who died because sadly no one noticed because she died around 9/11. Wanna see it?

And despite writing fewer scrips than preceding years, overdoses are WAY up. lol

Was it actually your right leg or did you think the wrong leg was missing as a result of the anaesthesia?

I didn't remember that the leg was being amputated and was confused why I was in the hospital at all until I pulled off the sheets and saw why and it all came rushing back.

I’ve had 5 surgeries on my spine since 2014, after the first one hosed up the nerves then fixing that required metal rods, then my spine started crumbling at the ends of the rods, so they went in and burned the nerve away. Which decreased the pain, but the damage is still occurring while I can’t feel it. And the nerve will regenerate so I’ll need that same surgery every year or two.

The pain clinic I was referred to wants me to get more surgeries — for a temporary trial spinal cord stimulator and the real thing if that works — before they’ll even consider dispensing even minimal amounts of any opiate. Those surgeries will involve drilling holes to make my vertebral openings large enough to thread a wire through, and the pain is radiating from higher than the limit of the stimulator (they can’t put it higher than the bottom of the heart) so it won’t have the desired effect.

But when I asked what the non-surgical options were, to avoid useless cutting, I got the “look we’re not just here to get you high” speech, when all I want is to not be bedbound most days. It took 3 appointments before the doctor actually let me ask a question, because pain clinics are currently set up to where you get judged for 5 minutes for being weak/lazy enough to not get over it, then told to come back in 6 months.

If any foreign goons in a nation that hasn’t massively over-corrected wants an American bride, hit me up.
