Pain after surgery, should I call about meds?

[PhillyEagles 29]

I'm one week post op and I'm having a lot of pain from my catheter and I'm in a bunch of pain when I lay down to sleep but throughout the day it isn't so bad, both on my back or either side I lay on. The doctors sent me home with a bottle of liquid pain meds but I only have one serving left and just wanted to know if you think they would give me any more or would they look at me like I'm trying to get extra pain meds? If like 9/10 people are off pain meds a week out i won't even call them. Just wanted to see what everyone's experiences were post op so early on.

It is common to experience some pain after surgery and this can be aggravated by trying to sleep comfortably. Some people chose to sleep on a recliner for the first few days after surgery instead of a bed. I found slipping a pillow between my legs at night helped.

If you haven't used more than you were advised and have run out, they should give them to you. Not having them and being in pain can delay healing.

I did not experience any pain whatsoever, but I would assume that he would call in a prescription for you as long as you need it so you could be comfortable.

I decided not to. I'm feeling better, not 100% but still a lot better. I really needed it I think but it's too late now lol thanks for the replies
