That's terrible, Michele!! I'm so sorry you're in so much pain!! What horrible emergency treatment you got!! You deserve so much better than to be passed off to a nurse, and to be judged (!!!) as an attention drug-seeking addict to boot! What the hell is wrong with them??
That makes me angry. I've had the same thing happen in an emergency room in Maryland for a badly sprained ankle where they treated me like a drug whore because I made the mistake of telling the doc I took Tylenol-3 for IBS. If anything, you need something in addition to the vicodin, like percocet or some valium to help you sleep!! Taking narcotices decreases their efficacy, and the doc should know that!
I hate sprained ankles. I've broken my ankle no fewer than 3 times, and sprained the same ankle at least 5 times. Ankle pain is horrible and it takes you forever to do the simplist thing! Not to mention the lost sleep from the pain of accidently grazing the affected area with a blanket or a simple sudden movement resulting in shooting pain!!
I really feel for you, Michele. Please try and rest, and I hope you find a good doctor to really give you the attention you deserve!! You deserve the best!!
All my best,
