Today, I'm sitting in agonizing pain following a scoliosis surgery. I have a bunch of painkillers that I need to suppress the incredible back pain, but looks like I can't take any, because my mom has hidden them from me because she thinks I need to be taken off them. I wish my doctor was here. FML

Questions about your love life, a burnt turkey and the cousin who knows everything: Thanksgiving, a contact sport.
Today, my mother-in-law flushed my pain medicine because she believes I’ve been using it too long and I’m addicted. I had surgery four days ago. FML
Today, I had to have major oral surgery. Needless to say I am in need of some heavy pain medication. My pharmacist insists that my surgeon never called in my medicine, and my surgeon insists otherwise. This has been going back and forth for hours. FML
Today, my asshole uncle stole the painkillers I was prescribed after my surgery. To top it all off, the pharmacy called CPS on my mom when she attempted to replace them because they thought she was lying, so they're going to be investigating. FML
Today, I came home from surgery to remove my tonsils. It's a much better surgery to have as a kid, because when you get older it's much more painful. I didn't know my mom liked pain killers. I do now, because I have none left and I haven't even taken any yet. FML
Today, I went to the hospital for crippling back pain that made it impossible to walk. The doctor was more interested in telling me off for not taking a pill that he admitted doesn't help acute pain. He then gave me an injection that wore off in an hour, and sent me home, telling me to take over the counter meds. FML
Today, I had lower lumbar back surgery. I'm in horrible pain, my kids are wedged up my butt even though my husband is home, and I've heard nothing from friends or family, not even a check-in to see how it went. FML
Today, I’m still on bed rest recovering from life-altering surgery. My pain is unreal but the pills make me nauseous or knock me out cold. When I try to express what I’m going through, all anyone tries to do is cheer me up without listening. I just want someone to understand what I’m going through. FML
Today, after having surgery, I called my family to tell them I was out, safe, and on my way home. The first thing they asked was if they could "borrow" some of my pain meds. FML
Today, thanks to America's opiate epidemic, I can no receive the pain management I require for broken ribs. FML
Today, I'm on opioids due to severe pelvic pain. Taking them makes me constipated and increases my pain, which leads to taking more painkillers. I can choose to be in agony and the possibility of pooping, or be in slightly less pain and completely bunged up. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?
Thanks, your FML was submitted, and will appear in the moderation queue soon!

Smack that bitch upside the head. Then apologies, saying that it's just that you're in so much pain that you have no control over yourself. Mothers like to play the guilt card to get their way so take a page from their book and turn it back on her! ;-)

so either you dont know how to spell or youre an idiot. I have scoliosis its a curve in the spine. you dont feel any pain.

So either you're an idiot or you're illiterate. -.-OP clearly stated that the pain is from a surgery to correct the spine. Besides, not everyone is lucky enough to have the painless kind. Mild scoliosis doesn't require corrective surgery, or cause pain. Severe scoliosis does both.

Um Scoliosis is an extremely painful back issue... I imagine the surgery doesn't feel too good either.

I actually had scoliosis correction surgery (T3 to L4-I know, my whole entire frigging back) and so I totally sympathize. even while on percocet, morphine, and valium I was still in a ridiculous amount of pain :( fyl and f your mom. oh, and feel better soon, even though it took me a while. but it's been a year and 7mos and I'm doing ok so im sure everything will be okay for you too :)

that sucks. I had scoliosis surgery a few years ago with the pain meds and it was by far the worst pain ever. oh and by the way to #4...you can't just "be a man and rub some dirt on it," you have no idea...

he/she, can't probably move, because the surgery would take place on the spinal cord, so maybe that's why, but. then again, how would he/she. had wrote this FML?!!!? dun dun dunnn

"Sent from mobile version"

Besides the fact that it was sent from mobile version, the surgery doesn't affect your ability to type. And they made me walk around and climb stairs before I was allowed to leave the hospital. So he can move, just not very quickly and it does hurt.

WTF! Call your doctor and give them permission to tell your mom to give them to you! or face consequences! I'd give her 9 kinds of heck! she is probably from the generation that used whiskey as pain killers! good luck!
