I just had surgery on both ears (incision though both eardrums and into the middle ear). One ear is fine, bit the other is incredibly painful.
I've had it checked several times since the surgery (which was 10 days ago). The doc says that all is well with that ear, and that it's it's just post-op pain, which he says may take some time to go away. I'm taking the max amount of vicodin I can take, and it just takes the edge off. At this point, I'm pretty desperate, and I'm actually thinking of something alternative (or traditional, too) that would help diminish the pain and inflammation. Pretty much all the docs will do is toss pain meds at me, and I can take only so much of those. Any ideas?
Thanks!
