Today, just after two days after a major surgery they are removing my PCA my Patient Controlled Analgesic drug delivery machine which I affectionately named Drug-E. Apparently I don't need it after major spinal surgery. FML

I think the point of the "patient controlled" is that the OP presses a button and it gives him a shot of pain-relief (within limits of how much he can have). OP clearly thinks he still needs it but I guess the Doc's think otherwise. If it's an opioid like morphine then they won't allow it for long to avoid OP becoming dependent.

I had a morphine pca for a week after my appendix burst, so I don't think it's the fear of op getting addicted

Sorry, I accidentally downvoted. It sends a slow steady dosage of pain meds, without it, OP may be in alot of pain.

They should give you oral pain medication then if you're not get the PCA. It's one step closer to getting out of the hospital!
