Regular Member guraaf Posted July 22, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2021 I got back 2 hours back and have been in tremendous pain around the circumference of head. Not just the strip area where the hair were removed from back. The doctor's office is closed and I am in tears even after taking Narco (Hydrocodone 325 mg). Should I just remove the bandage and take my chances? Is it just too tiight? Why so much pain. I feels like 9 or 10 on a scale of 0-10. It is 10:30 pm here and no other recourse available for me. I am so miserable. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Senior Member LaserCaps Posted July 22, 2021 Senior Member Share Posted July 22, 2021 Sorry you are experiencing this. It typically happens on procedure 2. I'm surprised they did not give you the doctor's phone number in case of an emergency. Best thing to do, in my view, is to go to a local clinic and see if a doctor can prescribe pain meds. I would leave everything as is. If the area gets infected - for whatever reason, things will just get worse. (Now it's the next day. Were you able to resolve anything?)

Regular Member guraaf Posted July 22, 2021 Author Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2021 I managed to increase my dosage for Narco to twice and then take it every 4 hours and Ibuprofen in the middle. I managed to get thru the night and now feel lot better and able to sit and eat and not feel miserable. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member gradina22 Posted July 22, 2021 Regular Member Share Posted July 22, 2021 Hey man. Glad to hear that you are okay. Well I just read your inputs. From pretty desperate state to a pretty normal one. Damn, these HTs are one big rollercoaster. But things will be even better in next few days Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
