Amen runner. Everything you said absolutely is true. I already don't like this doctor. I think you should ask for a referral to a few pain management doctors, so you have a couple of options to pick from. Switching to tylenol one week after surgery is absurd. You're not crazy Sarah. Your doctor is.
