Pain meds

[Dropzone 24]

I am 4 days post op my first day was all about Dilaudid after that they put me on a every 4 hours rotation of oxycodone and Tylenol so far pain hasn't been that bad so I am mostly using the Tylenol That I am crushing up I was told to use the oxycodone as a breakthrough med only.

Glad I had no pain after 8 hours at the hospital. I took l pain pill. The oxycodone messed with my head after a knee replacement and never help my pain.

Me too! I'm wide awake on it. It's so weird because it seems to make other people sleepy. Not me. I have the oxycodone liquid but I'm going to try and just take Tylenol. Plus I always feel awful when I stop the medicine. I swear I withdraw from it.

Well for sure people get addicted to the Oxys. Not surprising you might feel withdrawal. Beware of it.

Right! I don't feel like I mentally withdraw as much as physically. Which is part of why I'm hesitant.

You don't even need them. Maybe the first day or two in hospital. After that Tylenol should be just fine.

Take my advice- deal with the pain. Narcotics will make your recovery and Constipation SO MUCH WORSE.

I just had full body plastic surgery on Tylenol. Trust me it can be done.
