Proper Iv Morphine Dose After Surgery

Updated

sorry for the last post,,, this is the spell checked vervion. Ken. I am a 52 year old male, I recently shattered the lower part of my right tibia, it required that a long l shaped plate be attached to hold the pieces in place, after surgery I was given 2mg if IV morphine, which didnt seem to help much, the pain was very severe, when I ask for more main med I was told that if I was given any more I would stop breathing and I was refused any further relief, have I became a sissy or was the dose way insufficient, additionally when I was sent home (after 2 days) I was given 10mg lortabs to be taken1 every 8 hours that dont seem right either, is it?

There is really no way to say what is the right, or wrong dose for any specific person. It depends on their pain levels and tolerance to the medications.

It can also depend on the doctor(s), some of them are more conservative than others about treating pain. Have you tried asking your doctor for their opinion?
