????Pain meds????

Good evening to all ????

How long did everyone have to take their pain meds after surgery? I have a little one I have to take care of during the day and needed to know what I'm looking at, with being able to take my meds.

I was stuck in the hospital for three days and by 24 hours after surgery I realized the narcotics were making me sick, so I asked them to switch me to liquid Advil, which they did. I filled my prescription for liquid hydrocodone, but I didn't end up taking it. The physical pain is not the bad part, it's just the nausea, weakness, and for me the fear that I had possibly ruined my life that makes recovery less than pleasant.

It all works out though. :)

That's good to know, that I won't need after ???? it'll make it way easier to deal with my child lol... I asked for something for nausea, but was told I shouldn't need it.
