    It's a FREE hotline staffed by counselors who will talk you through your panic and anxiety.

    If you're n the U.S. the ER will also help you without health insurance.

    Thank you and I will try but I feel I may be beyond talking through it. I can manage it most times but tonight I am worried it has become an unsafe unhealthy level. Thank you for the help.

    There's always the ER. My friend Ron gets panic attacks in the middle of the night and heads for the ER. They know him well. And he has no health insurance.

    If you are having continued pain this far out from surgery you need to seek medical attention as soon as possible.

    'started swollen and got tender bruising feeling worse'

    Please explain the bruising in detail - when, where, how big, what color. If you are still here.
    If bruising just started, that probably indicates bleeding at the surgical site, and you should go to the ER now.
