I've broken bones, twisted some ankles, no stabbing or bullet wounds, and a couple random stove burns. I must say that having my tonsils removed has been the most painful experience of my life strictly on how long they have hurt. I got them removed exactly a week ago and I still feel like my second day. I'm on my second bottle of promethazine (pills), second bottle of oxycodone, another bottle of hydrocodone, and some other crap that sounds like Daucicline? I'm 23 and my friends say that I should have gotten it done when I was a child but my tonsils hadn't bothered me back then at all until recently. I had to call the ambulance 2 nights ago after the scab where my right tonsil was ripped off in the middle of the night. EMTs said I lost about 1 and 1/2 pint of blood. Stuff came out chewy in clots.
I'm going back thursday for post-op and will be outta work another 2 to 3 weeks on disability. Lost 15 pounds since last week just drinking an ensure once a day. If your doctor recommends a tonsillectomy for you, make sure you dont have %%!+ to do for 3 weeks. I know this prob won't be my worst pain I will ever suffer but so far it def is. Stories?
