[QUOTE="Josie, post: 390733, member: 1792"] Susie, I am not sure if anything will get them to do much more. Definitely encourage her to show her pain. However, when my daughter was in the hospital a year ago, with severe pain, she looked like she felt bad, she told them she felt bad, and they wouldn't even give her Tylenol or Advil. When they did their procedure, which did cause her pain to be worse, and she said she didn't want to do it because it made her feel worse, they actually said to me, "So she is anxious because she thinks it is going to hurt?" I had to point out that she KNEW it was going to hurt because she had already had it done earlier that day. She did not smile or talk much, even to me. She did not get out of bed to go around the hospital. She didn't even watch much TV. She slept a lot. Her pain level was a 9. When they did the procedure, she said her pain was off the chart. They think she was depressed and not in pain. Even after I asked them if they were happy and smiling when they were sick. I hope you have a better experience with getting some pain management. If I had it to do again, I might make a big scene myself about demanding some pain medications for her. I don't know, because, honestly, I think then they would have thought I was wanting attention, too. [/QUOTE]
