I had pain meds with a push button where I could push it when I was in pain. I'm allergic to morphine so they gave me Fentanyl. My pain was from gas so within an hour of being assigned to my room on medsurg floor, I was up walking. They told me walking would alleviate the gas and IT DID! The next morning they removed the push button according to plan and gave me Fentanyl thru IV as needed, then gradually weaned me over to Percocet tablets which were teeny tiney. That's what I came home with and maybe only took 2 total once home. Other than the gas pains, I had slight pain at my hernia repair site (surgeon decided to repair a hernia I had at my belly button). You will be fine:) No need to be worried about pain:)
