I just had surgery and it was a hard five days. I tried not to take pain meds because I have never been a fan of medication. I also wanted to feel TUFF, when I did take the roxicet that they gave me I felt better. I'm tougher now with the roxicet because I am able to walk more. I also think that a lot of my discomfort came from the weather. It has been a heat wave and very humid, as soon as I got into an AC thanks to a friend letting me stay at her house, I felt much better. So I guess a word of advice if you have ur surgery and its really hot outside get yourself to an AC and it makes your healing much more bearable.
