Pain Medication?

How long are you generally in pain after the surgery, and what type of pain meds do they typically put you on, and how much do they give you to bring home? I'm a big baby when it comes to pain, so I'm kind of scared....

This is going to vary based on the individual doctor's preferences. From my personal experience, with Dr. Garcia, for the first day post op they used Buprenorphine and then after that they used a combination of tramadol and ketorolac. The nurses always asked me how my pain was and they kept it under control at all times. They gave me sublingual ketorolac tablets to take home. You can also go to the pharmacy and buy tramadol tablets without a prescription if you think you will need more pain relief, or you can talk to your doctor and I'm sure he will make sure that your pain is kept under control.

everyone is different - I haven't had any pain medication since the morning after surgery.
