Day 4 post-op-SLAP tear + fracture repair
I'M FINALLY ALIVEEE
after the nerve blocker wore off, I was becoming near suicidal and I'm not even exaggerating. Then I got on a regular schedule of oxy, tylenol, gaba, and the muscle relaxer and it helped with pain but I felt like shit. Then I stopped taking all the meds and fully had the nastiest withdrawal symptoms (nausea, migraine, dizziness, almost passing out) and as of today have taken nothing at all for pain because I can't do the meds anymore. My pain level is down to what it was after I initially injured myself but was healing and really only hurts when I extend myself too much/when I move my shoulder in particular ways.
sooo glad I finally feel better. haven't started PT yet so I'm sure that will absolutely suck. Just wanted to post this for any other day 1-3 post op people who wanted to literally die like me.
For context, had a super complicated slap tear (torn all the way from the top to the bottom) and 2 fractures.
