Had Tympanoplasty soon Friday. Came home Saturday dinner time. All Friday night was wide awake with excrutiating pain. No pain medication touched the pain (liquid morphine given) and then 30mg of Codeine administered due to severity of pain. Helped slightly but Saturday morning more excrutiating pain. 30mg of Codeine and more morphine. Whilst still in the hospital more pain and vomiting. I'm a diabetic type 2 with insulin treatment. It's Monday evening and I'm trying to control pain with 2 x 500mg Paracetamol every 4 hours. It does take the edge off the pain, That's it. I've never ever experienced pain this severe, inside ear, face, teeth, surrounding ear and my neck. How much more can I stand this pain?
