I cant take pain meds... super scared... how painful is it?

It really is not bad...I had pain meds the day of surgery, but didnt need them for more than the second day. I was achey and it hurt to sit up, but not too badly!

Thankyou

I lived through it without pain medication (minus what they gave me in the OR). Wasn't bad- maybe slightly worse than my gallbladder surgery?

Although I did take nausea meds once.

The pain was not terrible at all...I came home with pain medication, but only used it two days, and then because I became stiff and sore when asleep. It isn't a bad pain, more nagging...but I took Tylenol and was fine.
