Does anyone know what pain mess are usually given? I had hydrocodone (sp?) once after oral surgery and I hated the way it made me feel. For some reason, I get really cranky and sort of hyper. Shrug.

I was given oral Hydrocodone w. tylenol, I don't particularly care for it either. I only took it when I got home. I was on crushed Tylenol after that and was fine. Took it with a small spoonful of Sugar free Pudding.

I was given Hydrocodone also. I didn't take anything after surgery...didn't need it!

I've been wondering how you take meds after surgery for a few days. They say it's rough just to drink water, I can't imagine adding a big pill.

My surgeon sent me home with liquid lortab. So ask for the elixir if you're worried about a pill. However I ended up switching to pills because the taste of the liquid medicine made me gag horribly. But I'm SUPER sensitive to liquid meds. My mom caught me swallowing the chewable Tylenol just before I turned three. My second phrase in life was "yuck yuck double yuck" anytime I had to take an awful liquid med.

I digress, they make liquid pain meds. I'd you're concerned about a pill ask for elixir. Althought most pain pills aren't horse pills

I think everyone is given a liquid pain medicine of some sort. Your stomach is not able to breakdown the pill/ or the doctor does not want it to even try, for at least a week after surgery. You may be able to get something to crush up, but it is usually a nasty tasting liquid. Ask the pharmacy to add flavor. May help a little.

I was given the Mexico version of Toradol from doc and it was a sublingual. ( melt under your tongue) but I was taking my dexilant 2 days after surgery with no problems along with Tylenol if I needed it.

I was given all IV pain meds. All NSAIDS. My antibiotics, PPI and pain meds were all IV until I left the hospital. One the second night I had a headache and they gave me a shot of something stronger. I had 2 shots of heparin in my abdomen to prevent blood clots (he's very for preventing blood clots, they do this in the states in large patients also).

I was also given the Mexican tordol sublingual for pain after. I only took it here and there.

Same here in hospital it was all iv but afters I had no problems. :-)
