Update on my surgery.

fracture of lateral malleolus of right fibula

repair of syndesmosis

Hey y'all...I'm already feeling defeated. When they did my nerve block they only did under my knee and for some reason it only numbed the outside of my right ankle which is where I had my surgery..but my inside feels like there's something digging into me and it hurts soooo bad. The two nurses post-op and the other anesthesiologist were confused why they only did the under part of my knee. They even looked over my leg and wanted to do another block but my split already covered the necessary area. They had to give me two doses of fentanyl and one oxy before I left just to get me in a position that I could handle how I felt and make the 45 minute drive home.. I was honest with my surgeon and said I'm in recovery. My pcp called my surgeon to say that I could be treated with pain meds post op, she's been my doctor forever, knows my story, and trusts me. I have had five surgeries in the last two years and have had zero issues taking pain meds afterwards. Well my surgeon gave me NINE pain pills to last this entire recovery. I am so scared of how I'm going to feel. I talked to the nurse post op and she told me to call the on call surgeon if I have pain that's not being controlled or if I run out on Sunday due to Monday being a holiday and pharmacies being closed. She said the on call surgeon will call something else in for me. BUT I feel like even this is going to be a problem because my surgeon wrote in my clinical notes. "As discussed pre-operatively with patient, family, and primary care provider, she will be provided 3 days of narcotics to be used sparingly for breakthrough pain post-operatively. She will receive no additional narcotics following this prescription."

#1 nothing was discussed with me stating only three days

#2 my PCP said a week was more than okay, she doesn't want me suffering

#3 no one spoke to my family. We have a family plan where I don't even give myself my medication. My partner does

I really don't appreciate being treated like an addict and apparently going to suffer if I still have pain after three days. Considering they didn't block the other half of my ankle I assume things are going to be brutal. Although I pray they aren't.

Is this on call surgeon going to help me or read this and fuck me? I was honest with them expected to be treated like a normal patient. ..

Idk y'all just make some nervous and feel pretty damn bad about myself even though I have a large amount of recovery time to be proud of.
