Pain
"I just had a 14mm kidney stone removed surgically and now have a kidney stent. 2 days after the indwelling stent was placed I began having severe back and abdominal pain. In short intervals the pain was equivalent to a small kidney stone itself. I have been taking Lortab off and on for years for different reasons. I know that they wake me up. Needless to say I had 24 hour pain levels that didn&#039;t allow for sleep if I took the Lortab every 4 hours. I told my Doctor that but he wouldn&#039;t prescribe any &#039;sedative&#039; pain relieving medicines. I called in the 3rd day after no sleep and said something MUST be done. He finally prescribed me Demerol 50mg. One didn&#039;t do that much however I upped my dose to 2 tablets and I&#039;m currently almost pain free. Good night."
