I am laying here awake in the middle of the night because I am having these horrible stabbing pains and cramping in the vaginal and what would be uterine areas. Bad enough that they woke me up an hour and a half ago and my pain meds haven’t relieved the pain. Unfortunately, right before I went to sleep I was working on my current CPT assignment of writing out the detailed account of one of my many sexual assaults and even pre-op I had experienced painful body memories of this trauma but not like these. Since the surgery I had 5 days ago was in this area it makes sense that this could be post-op pain and if it is I do have one opioid pain med left that I could take but if it is just body memories I feel like I should tough it out. Maybe that is a stupid way to look at it but I don’t want to give in to my normal response of running from anything remotely close to bringing on an emotional response and pain meds will just numb those again.
I don’t want to call the doctor in the middle of the night because the only option will be the ER and Covid is not well controlled here and on a weekend night in this metro area it would be not a good place to go if I can avoid it.
