I just wrote a long post, clicked add and it disappeared. I am not sure I have the energy to pour my heart out again regarding what I am going through.....
I'm just gunna sum it up now and maybe post more specifics tomorrow. Basically, I am in post-op agony to the left of my incision, covering about a quarter of my scalp. Pain that feels like a blistering sunburn, plus numbness, random tingling, sensations like I am wearing tight sunglasses over my ear. There are places I scratch and cant feel it, but it hurts at the same time. I cant take much more.
My doc has offered Neurontin....a powerful drug, but the nurse did say that I would need to watch for swelling in hands and feet, dizziness and fatigue. REALLY???? I am just getting rid of that stuff since surgery.
I am about at my wits end. I am tough, like all of you, but I feel like I can't take much more of this kind of pain, discomfort, omg...I can't even describe it.
Thoughts? anything? Please......
