So Sorry Man.
I know where you are with the pain. That posterior laceration and surgery as a whole back there is so painful isn't it? I am feeling for you Joker.
You just need to call all of your doctors and the surgeons and plead with them that you need more of the fast acting medicine, such as roxicodone. They should be able to call you in a higher dose of Roxicodone or a long acting like morphine. If they are not willing or give you grief, then you simply have to just go to the ER.
Doctor's should know better than to discharge you on a dose that does not completely dull your pain after a huge surgery like that.
Focus on getting in front of or calling the offices of whomever has you under their care (Doctor/Surgeon/Hospital)...whether this be your primary doctor, the surgeon or even the hospital where the procedure was done. Tell them that you are going insane and you cannot sleep and you are writhing in pain.
Fight Hard Joker and don't take no for an answer, you deserve to be able to recover in peace...besides enjoying Christmas.
