I twisted my knee and after a couple days the swelling and pain increased to a point where I knew that a trip to the ER was necessary.I had no problem with the wait or with any of the nurses or staff being rude however when your knee is swollen up fat and you have a pain level of 8(no exaggeration),you would think that they would give you a steroid injection and a prescription for something other than Ibuprofen.I realize there is an opiode epidemic but I have Osteo Degenerative Arthritis with 90% torn Achilles tendon,75% torn bicep with 25% tears on my right side and I'm discharged with a nice pair of crutches,knee support brace and an order to see an orthopedic Dr in a week if things don't improve.My mother was a RN for over 30 years God bless her I'm just thankful she never worked in a hospital as in compassionate as this one.Now I have lost sleep due to uncomfortably and pain and I feel there unwillingness to prescribe adequate pain medication shows total unprofessionalism that must change.Shame on them.
