Percocet is not killing the pain

Man what a shitty week I am having. I have been avoiding an ultrasound and trying to compile a list of what is going on with my cycle. I have tons of symptoms and pain. The really irritating thing is even thouh I know I have this problem - every month the day before my period I have some major metdown or blow up. Anyone else do this repeatedly? I feel like an idiot.

I had a cyst and have an ear infection with a bit of a high fever. I have been taking XS Vicodin and antibiotics for several days, then got drops 2 days ago. I have a pretty high pain tolerance, but after not sleeping for a couple of days (with the exception of literally minutes at a time sporadically) due to pain that became like a sharp stabbing in my ear and just feeling absolutely awful I finally went to the ER last night. The swelling from the left ear has gone down my neck and I have a lump behind and under my ear a bit bigger than a quarter. The ER Dr couldn't see in the ear because it is so swollen. They lanced the cyst - no big deal. They said the medicine I am taking is correct for the infection, but that due to the swelling the drops have not been able to get into the ear. So they inserted a sponge. I got percocet and was hoping the pain would at least be tolerable, but it isn't. I tried deep breathing, but it didn't help. Putting me head up seems to ease it a bit. Heat is supposed to jelp, but I am afraid the moisture from a rag will exascerbate the infection. Any ideas? Any breathing technique that you can explain that might help? Or exercises mental or physical? I can't close my jaw all of the way and can't really eat, but I haven't been hungry for a few days and have mainly been drinking veggie and fruit juice and pounding acidopholous. I am dizzy because my equilibrium is all messed up so I am also semi nauseous. The buzzing in my ear is driving me batty.

Long boring rant. I had to cancel all of my plans for the last 4 days. I can't read because I am too distracted by the pain. Sitting up seems to be an effort so I have been watching regular tv. UGH.

Any ideas at all? I've tried the mind over matter thing but I know I am trying to bullshit myself. Does that work for you anjd how? Shouldn;t percocet be knocking me out or at least easing the pain more?

I see my specialist on Monday.

i wish i had some really good suggestions for the pain
the only thing i can come up w/ is for the nausea
there is over the counter liquid or you should be able to get a Dr to call in an Rx for something for the nausea
but i guess thats probably the least of your concern w. all the pain you are in
where's geek/dirtyplotte?
i bet she can help
i hope you feel better soon

Nope is that something normally prescribed in a pill form? I was on morphine when I was in the hospital for an accident. My speacialist is out by my parent's house and I was going to drive there tonight for an appointment tomorrow, but the pain is too bad. I am hoping the ear drops help with the sponge the er dr inserted in my ear and I can drive tomorow morning. I don't think I should take percocet and drive in any case. Then again - driving in intense pain is also probably a bad idea.

nausea - you can get phenergan in pill form
pain - the next step is oral dilaudid usually.

if you can not keep pills down, go back to the ER tell them you are unable to keep medicine down long enough for it to work and they will admit you for nausea/vomiting and you will receive IV medications and probably some fluids as well.


with hot rags, what i do is wet washcloths put them in microwave and then put those hot wet cloths into a ziplock baggie and then cover with more cloth and then set against the affected area.

mind over matter works to a degree for me. but like with my neck spasm earlier this month, i was unable to do anything but sit and cry for a couple of days, and that was with the valium!

im sorry youre having a time of it. PM me if you want to talk
