Proper Iv Morphen Dose After Surgury

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 surgury I was given 2mg if IV morphene, 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 breating and I was refused any furhter relief, have I bacame a sissy or was the dose way insufficiant,additionaly 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?

Are you sure it was only a 2mg dosage? How often was it given?

To be honest, I've been given more than that in the ambulance on the way to the hospital by the medics, when I was in severe pain. That is a very low dose.

However, there could have been some other reason they didn't want to give you a higher dosage, such as other health complications, or medications that you are on.

Have you tried asking your regular doctor?


The reason for the Lortab and that dosing frequency, is really precaution, because they want to take the edge off your pain, but they don't want to risk your being addicted to narcotics, when the healing is done.

The only way to really get an answer is to ask the doctors why they were treating so conservatively.
