how long would you wait to head to the emergency room to be treated for pain? I've gone almost 5 days of severe pain because I currently am out of my pain meds.

@AlphaTurtle so sorry. Your doctor should have emergency appointments for these types of things. They could at least call something in for you. Sounds allot like what I dealt with before surgery. I'm the same with fusions still hurting & I had surgery in 2008
If/when my pain level reaches the point I can't sleep, can't shower or make my way to the toilet and end up soiling myself...I call a friend for a ride to the ER. Otherwise I avoid the ER like the plague.
going to my doc would require making an appointment. And getting a same day appointment is next to impossible. Cost isn't a concern, as my insurance covers my medical 100%. The pain is from bulging and herniated disks, as well as severe bilateral sacroiliac joint dysfunction. But i also have neck pain from a previous multilevel fusion, as well as chronic bursitis and frozen shoulder on the left side.
Can you go to your doctor? Urgent care or walk in clinic would be less expensive & a better alternative. Do you know what is causing the pain?
