Jason, I hope your pain subsides quickly! Are you on IV Gentamycin? Working in a walk-in/urgent care clinic not much "hurts" me, but I'm sure that's not true of most people reading this thread. Anyway, I'll not invade your privacy. Get well soon and keep your pain controlled with your meds. When pain gets out of control, it's very hard to regain control of it. I made that mistake once after a urological procedure, but I'll never do it again! It took a trip to the ER for a pain shot mixture of demorol, torodol, and phenegran to regain control of the pain, so the Lortab at home would work again. Hang-in there!
