Peroneal tendon surgery pain
I just had surgery on my peroneal tendon on the 17th of December. It has only been a few days, however I am in EXCRUCIATING pain. It is not even tolerable. Medication does not seem to help, neither does icing. After a nasty episode of pain last night my mom called the doctor. Turns out the nurse at the OR put the ace wrap on too tight to not allow space for swelling. Now, after loosening it, I am still in horrible pain. I shake a lot, am constantly moaning, barely sleeping, and cannot eat. I was on vicodin, but now I am on percoset (sp?)
My procedure was a little different I guess. I had the tendon stretched out, a piece of the bone cut out, and then the tendon tightened back onto the bone.
Has anyone had this before?? I need to know how much longer this pain will last. I am so close to going to the ER because I cant deal with this anymore. I am 18 years old and feel like an old lady!
