[QUOTE="Fran, post: 191170, member: 3"] Try for another hand surgeon Steph. I know that one surgeon is very leery taking over after another doctor operated on someone. If you have been given care that is not appropriate for your injury, you should find a different doctor anyhow. If you have no pain medications, can't tolerate the pain then go to the ER and tell them your problem and the "pop". Tell them you are concerned that there is something terribly wrong and your surgeon can't see you until next week. You can't live with the pain The waiting 5 days for surgery would concern me but I'd be lying if I said I had a lot of experience with hand injuries. The thinking always was that you reattach nerves and tendons as quickly as possible but that was years ago. If you go to the ER, don't ask for pain pills. It sends those red flags up. Tell them you are in pain and need help. You don't know what's wrong. Let them tell you what you should do. [/QUOTE]
