Just back from ER visit.. Actually feeling some relief.

I couldn't handle the pain today, and finally I cracked. My father took me to the ER, where they put me in the express care and I got right in to talk to a Dr. He ended up being very nice and understanding, bein honest in the fact that there is nothing he knows that can help. He said that I may just need stronger medication, and I told him that I just basically took myself off of Duragesic, and the Dr didn't want to up my Oxycontin because he says I'm on too many meds. I told him I was on 20mg 2x daily, and he looked at me funny and said he knew people who were on 160mg at one time. He than gave me a shot of Dilaluid, and a 5mg Valium. Between these two, I feel better than I've felt in months. I think that although the Dilaluid definatly was helpful, Im going to make sure and ask my Dr for Valium, as it really seemed to relax me, which in turn I think actually helps my pain. The Dr in the ER said it is a muscle relaxer and an anti anxiety drug. Just thought I'd share, as I am grateful for all the help from every1 on this board.

Re: Just back from ER visit.. Actually feeling some relief.

Im so happy for you! Just a thought, but is there ANY way you could have these two docs visit? Can you send your ER records to your new doc, or whoever you are seeing? This guy sure had a lot of knowledge for an ER doc, and its such a shame that he would be more knowledgeable than the docs youve had. Id keep this guy in my back pocket for sure!
Good for you, IM so happy for you, I hope you rest well, you deserve it~

Re: Just back from ER visit.. Actually feeling some relief.

Thank you for sharing your experience about your er visit. I went to the er yesterday for pain but unfortunately My doc was not as understanding. And because I did not have a driver i could not get anything stronger for pain. I was only able to get toradol and solumedrol(steriod). Sometimes I feel they think I am a med seeker which I am not, just a person with alot of pain.

Re: Just back from ER visit.. Actually feeling some relief.

Izzy's Mom is right< I hope you had the ER send Dr. Rubinfeld a copy of their report of your visit, he will want it . If ya didnt just make sure when ya see him ya tell him of the visit and his office can get a copy faxed right over. I am estatic for you kid! Izzy's Mom is right YOU DESERVE IT! Just for your information though Valium is a benzo and when they say you can become addicted to it they mean (besides the usual bad addiction) that if you take it regularly your body HAS TO BE TAPERED, its alot more serious with a benzo because as far as I know you CAN DIE from its withdrawals. With our usual narcotics you cant die, just feel like you are, as far as I know. Anyway enough preaching you go ENJOY something, anything while your not in pain.Take care
