After struggling with my pain management doctor all week trying to get me enough meds to get me through the weekend till surgery monday, i read this and can't believe it. So you get one Ok month and then have to suffer the rest of the year? THat is just crazy. I'd be sitting out at their office . If i get that news from my insurance co, i will be there having them explain how that is supposed to work.
As it was i told my pain management docs nurse that i needed more for the weekend, i am in horrible pain and have been since my surgery on Aug 2nd. so i tell her i have had to take more than normal. So every 4 hours i take 20mg percocet. Somehow she decided i only needed it for one day out of the weekend and came up with 7 pills. I asked her how it could be 7 if i take 2 at a time anyway. ????? I really need 12 but could make it with a little less, she must me in cahoots with your insurance company
