I had my surgery on 8/4 (2.5 weeks out) and I am still taking the narcotic pain meds at least once of day because of discomfort. I am concerned i am in more pain or I am just a baby! How long were others on their ped meds?

I also tried the liquid Tylenol and it doesn't due much for the pain.

I took the pain med for 7 days. I had quite a bit of discomfort at my belly button site. But after 7 days i did not need it any more. the pain had improved.

I think I took my pain meds 6 or so days out then I realized all the itching that was going on was a allergic reaction to the pain med. Surgeon said to just take tylenol. I cant stand the taste of liquid tylenol so I have been without. The pain does get better.

I never even opened mine.

I only needed liquid Advil and only for the first 2 days. I never even opened my Lortab.

I wanted to post the same question. I understand your concern over two weeks after your surgery and still feeling pain sounds a little unusual. Regardless everyone's pain level and tolerance is different. I am 5 days post op and am still taking my pain meds. I too can't tolerate a lot of pain. Maybe this is why I still taking mine.

I may need to contact my doctors office to get a refill. I'm going to take them as long as I have pain or discomfort and as long as the doctor says it's ok. I think you should contact your doctor. If the doctor oks it then continue. You're not a baby.
