Remember to take your next pain pill dose 45 minutes early to allow it to take effect before the previous dose wears off.

The good news is my mouth and throat hurt so bad that I feel no pain from sinus surgery! Good luck with your shoulder, I’ll tip back some liquid oxy for you |

The docs probably told you to make sure your are thoroughly hopped up on percocet before the nerve block wore off.
Been there, done that. |

If you have a traditional ice pack, mix in some rubbing alcohol so it only freezes to slush. |

I needed 3 surgeries after a bad wreck, everyone said the shoulder was going to make me hate life, that it is one of the worst..So the plan was the neck fusion first, then as soon as the doc cleared me the shoulder, then finally the wrist...No one ever said a damn thing about the neck fusion..Holy cow, the shoulder was simple compared to the neck..I layed on the floor of my daughters apartment for 5 days after the neck wondering if I was going to live for another 1-2 hrs at a time..after 5 days I finally started feeling just horrible...the shoulder was cake compared to the neck.. The shoulder was way worse. |

I had an umbilical hernia repaired about a week and a half ago. Loritab did nothing for me. I can imagine how bad shoulder surgery would suck.

My hip replacement was easily the worst pain I have experienced, but the worst was BEFORE surgery not after.
OP, as others have noted, keep on top of the pain with meds. Hopefully you have been given an adequate supply of strong enough stuff i.e. strong opioids. Once you get it under control, start reducing your dosage as soon as possible. Running out and having withdrawal symptoms would not be pleasant. |

Man I feel your pain. I had shoulder surgery last November. Thankfully when the surgeon went in my rotator cuff was not torn so he did a Acromyplasty which was not as invasive as rotor cuff repair. However, 10 months later and I am still having shoulder issues. I have been in physical therapy on and off much of this year and have really only been pain free 3-4 months since my surgery. I go back tomorrow for another follow-up with my Ortho doc and fear I will be looking at either another surgery or possibly a second opinion if this doc cannot figure out why my shoulder is still so fucked up.
ETA as others have stated. Ice helps me sometimes to take the edge off. |

So I fell about a month ago and had some minor pain that as of lately has turned into a pain that runs down my arm. Bad pain.
Pain that seems to last about 15-20 seconds before it slowly goes away. Worse than when I broke my femur/ankle. If I raise my arm, sneeze, tension the shoulder in any way. Any ideas from the minds of GD? Cut if off? |

I had a UP3, T&A, septoplasty, and turb coblation all at the same time.
Didn't compare in the slightest to the pain from my clavicle and cuff repair.

Had a subchondroplasty on my ankle. I've had 8 surgeries in the past 3 years, that one was the worst by far. I had to go to the ER at 0200 when my nerve block wore off and the Oxy and ice wasn't touching the pain. The ER doc put me on a morhpine drip. Still didn't touch the pain. Finally they gave me fentanyl. Even that didn't eliminate the pain but brought it to bearable levels. The fusion was a little sporty when the block wore off, but I got through it with just Oxy.

Had torn labrum, needed couple anchors and shaved some bone too.
The nerve block was one of the worst parts for me. I looked like I had a stroke. Half my face was drooping and could barely open my left eye. Then my hand felt like it was 4x it's size and the pins and needles sucked. Just keep up with the pain meds and ice. My meds were 2 percs every 6 hours, but I did 1 every 3 hours the first few days. Worked a bit better. Don't be shy to ask for more meds. You will need them when physical therapy starts. Also, frozen shoulder is a real bitch. |

Just wait till you run out of pain meds, thanks to the war on opioids.

3 bone spurs cut out of my shoulder, the most painful experience I have ever had. After 3 days on meds I starting to think about something other than the pain. Doc said dont let the pain get out out ahead. He was dead right on.

Ice pain meds every 4 hrs 800mg ibuprofen every 6. If the rx meds aren't working don't be afraid to call and discuss it with the dr. I'm looking at shoulder surgery myself but its WC and I really just don't want to fuck with them anymore. Good luck

Shoulder surgery was the worst pain I've ever been in.
How long did you get out of the block? Rotating ice on and off is going to be the key. Quoted:
