    And if you are one of these people whose pain isn’t controlled, or you’re feeling overly fucked up - CALL YOUR DOCTOR RIGHT AWAY. Better to be an annoying patient once, who’s just trying to get their pain under control, than to risk addiction. Shit’s no joke.

    As givesomefucks said, Docs have other options besides just uping the dose, but you may have to advocate for it. Different timing, different meds and combinations, and even RICE can do some magic.
