This is the new worst pain I have experienced in life. What the fuck.

It keeps increasing too and I took the maximum amount of painkillers allowable.

I am afraid at how much more horrible this will feel when the pain killers wear off. I might actually have to go back to the hospital.

I slightly accidentally moved my foot up in my cast and it all started because of that. All I'm hoping for is that my Achilles tendon didn't somehow completely tear or something. aaaaaAAAAAA

The back of my foot just kind of instantaneously combust in blinding pain. I am just reeling at the intensity of this. It feels almost similar to the back of my foot having the worst sunburn of my life, while also being stabbed into repeatedly, except worse.

I had to remove the machines giving my leg the nerve block medication and... wow. My leg has been simultaneously asleep and on fire ever since. I took my meds like an hour ago and they still haven't really... helped?

I'm hoping maybe it's just a bad pain day or something...

I'm still poking my head in here and reading these! It's been bringing me a smile every time I see something new 😄

Thank you so much for the kind words everyone. It helps more than you know.
zallard1.bsky.social
Aw, thank you dude :D

I had a huge stretch of time where I didn't need to take pain killers, and it let me sleep earlier today. I only just now am getting to the point where I need to take more.

It's been necessary every 4-5 hours, but this stretch was from 6AM to 4PM before I had to cave... pretty solid!
zallard1.bsky.social
Totally get that; I'd probably keep that up too

Thank you so much! Hoping this surgery is the momentum I need.
zallard1.bsky.social
Aww, thank you so much. It's been real hard, but I'm at least happy to be finally past the surgery. That's been the most anxiety inducing bit to me, so I at least have some weight lifted off of me.
zallard1.bsky.social
I saw your post earlier! Thank you for the super kind words :D

Wow, so @agentannk.bsky.social put together a public "get well soon" card and passed it around to folks. I'm legit teary eyed at reading these. This cheered me up a ton today. www.kudoboard.com/boards/N4vg9...

Yeah I was late tonight because of surprise nap and I paid the price of one hour of pain until they decided to kick in.
zallard1.bsky.social
Yeah mine definitely feels like I need to pre-emptively squash it with my meds, otherwise I pay the torment toll until they decide to kick in 😬
zallard1.bsky.social
Definitely. This stage is just really testing me and pushing me hard lol.
zallard1.bsky.social
Ugh that's awful. I get trying to avoid people getting addicted, but right after a surgery is literally one of the times where they're needed the most.
zallard1.bsky.social
I also got my doctors to give me another prescription of them, because at the rate I'm taking these, I'll run out in... 2.5 days lmao. Definitely feel like this leg pain will not be resolved in under 3 days, and the docs agreed, so I got that going too at least.
zallard1.bsky.social
Ok, so I ended up realizing that I absolutely 1000% need to take the maximum allowable amount of pain killers as often as possible, ahead of time. So now I've got a 4 hour alarm set up so I can take my lineup of pills before my leg pain ramps up again.

I'm a woozy mess with this, but not screaming.
zallard1.bsky.social
Nevermind, I was not ready for this. This is the worst pain I’ve ever had in my life. This is “wake up at 5am screaming in my pillow” pain, and it gets worse every hour.

I am just screaming and howling in pain. I cannot believe this level of pain exists.

For anyone curious, these are all the procedures that were done to me for this surgery. It involved cutting a couple of bones (I know heel and big toe are two of them).

This is gonna be so fucking hard to endure, but now that I made it past the scariest part, I'm ready for anything.
zallard1.bsky.social
It feels like I jumped off a building and landed squarely on this foot. My heel feels like it has the most insane deep pain ever, and my big toe and top pad of my foot feel likewise. It is overwhelming and pain meds don’t seem to take the edge off enough to be comfortable anymore.
