Hi, @cdschuldt - glad the liquid diet is going well. I'm sorry your pain is not in good control. I've found personally that pain colors my whole world. I've had to persist after surgery to get more help with pain control. I think it's your right as a surgical patient to get help with postoperative pain.

I've only made a phone call before to get help over the phone with post-op pain and never actually went in for an appointment. Will your surgeon's team consult with you about pain control over the phone? Or might your pain doctor, since you mentioned you have one, as you may not be at your most mobile to go in at this moment?
