back from the doctor.



He confirmed that I have shingles. He also confirmed that I am not a risk to anyone so I can go back to work any time but said he expected to be at least a week or two before the pain was manageable enough for me to go back.



He also actually laughed out loud when I showed him my pain perscription. I was instructed to take 50mg of tramadol every 12 hours. He said that was insane and it should be more like 1 every 4 hours, and to take more than that if I needed. He also said it would not surprise him if the pain got worse and he needed to prescribe me something stronger.
Lol no wonder your country has an opiate problem.
