Uggghh I had my surgery on my thumb yesterday..... It's the worst pain!! It gets so bad at night. I take 2 norcos every 4hours and it still doesn't relieve the pain.
I'm hoping this doesn't throw me in a depressive state. I've Been doing pretty good staying stable so far and don't want this messing me up.

I'm also really worried about addiction. Norco is a narcotic and I have to take it. If the pain cocontinues to be this bad I'm worried I'll become addicted. I've never been addicted to a narcotic before. Any advice?

And omgosh...this cast it's huge!!! I have two pins that are in my joint that will be there forever and I'm worried that might cause future pain after I'm healed. Anyone have experiance with this?

I'm trying to just focus on getting better but this damn pain is terrible!!!

On a good note, a member here had recommended valum for anxiety which I was going to ask my PDoc about. I was worried it might make me feel high but they gave me one before my surgery and it took away ALL my anxiety!! Even the anxiety that wasn't associated with going into surgery and it didn't make me feel high at all. So I'm looking forward to asking about it now!

Only other worry is clutter. I get triggers over clutter and I can't hardly do crap. My hubby tries but it's not anywhere near where I need it. I don't want triggers started and I'm not sure how to handle this right now.
