My surgeon's on call doc wrote the script for me when oxycodone was not controlling the pain when I got home from the hospital after my full open chest thymectomy. I have no pain now and have been off the oxycodone for two months.

My primary's on call doc didn't say a whole lot about tramadol--just to call my neuro so he knows the situation and that she was referring me over to the pain specialist who is supposed to call me for an appt.

I wonder if the pain specialist will want to consult with my neuro anyway about whether I was getting too much or too little acetylcholine--bringing him on board?


Thanks, debra
