I Have A Fractured Sternum From Receiving CPR From A
I have a fractured sternum from receiving CPR from a drug overdose. Incident was about a month ago & still in a lot of pain, but do NOT want narcotic pain meds. Ask for Tramadol(Ultram) & was given 15 on the 11th, then again on the 18th. My Dr. is aware of my past opiate addiction. All of the anti-inflammatory drugs are VERY hard on my stomach(no matter how much I eat). I just started working again PT & I'm just SO exhausted ALL the time from the pain. Also, I waited a week before I even scheduled an appt. because I was in the hospital. Then I had to wait another week to be seen, X-rays were taken & I was told there was NO abnormality. So at the end of that week I KNEW "something" was wrong & my mom took me to ER. They gave me a CAT Scan w/ contrast & that's when I found out I had a fractured sternum & hematoma. HELP!?
