Just curious about the pain meds you are giving post surgery for you pain since your stomach is sensitive and can not tolerate much? I hate being in pain.

Curios mind want to know I am only a few days left?

dilaudid in the hospital in the IV bag (yummm). liquid Hydrocodone after the fact. Only hit is a couple of times to help sleep after I got home. Still have almost a full pint bottle.

Dilaudid in the hospital thru the IV for me for the first day. After that they attempted to give me liquid lortab that I found so disgusting I wouldnt take it which cause my heart rate and blood pressure to go up a little because I was in pain so my surgeon told them to crush Norco for me and I was right as rain. I only needed the Norco in the mornings mostly and only for a few days. Less pain than I had imagined thats for sure. But thank goodness for my magic dilaudid button in the hospital

I had dilaudid in the hospital for my entire 2 day stay. I was sent home with percocet tablets but never needed them. I was not in pain - just sore when I would get up from sitting or lying down.

Sad to say I have no idea what it was on in the hospital but I was sent home on lortab. It is disgusting ifi do say so myself.

I was on a self activated morphine pump which I HATED!!!!! Gave me the worst of headaches, only lasted 8 minutes so every 8 minutes I was waking up uncomfortable, and the dumb pump was noisy! I didn't think it really did much for the pain. Just made me sleepy for 8 min. I finally said I did not want that anymore and they gave me toradol through my iv. That was my magic potion. That and benedryl. I itch like crazy from the anesthesia every time I've ever had it! I went home with Percocet tabs that I cut in half. I only took them for about 3 nights. And only at night soi could get a good rest. During the day I took an extra strength Tylenol cut in half. Didn't bother my belly but I did take it when I had a shake. Just remember that when you are in the hospital to speak up if a med is not working for you. There are many many they can try and you doc will typically have written orders for multiple rx in case u don't like one. My nurse said she never wanted me above a 3 on the pain scale when I was in bed or in the chair. Slows healing to be in pain.

I had a beautiful stay in the hospital high on Toradol and Demerol via IV. And I was sent home with liquid Demerol.

I can't take most pain meds, including Vicodin, Lortab, Percocet, Codeine, Oxycodone, and more. They all make me vomit, which is obviously an issue after abdominal surgery. I was ready to tough it out like I have after my other four abdominal surgeries when they offered me Demerol. Oh my goodness, that stuff is from the heavens!

I had iv pain medicine in the hospital and was sent home on Lortab, for the first few days it was gross but now I guess my brain knows that it takes away the pain so I can tolerate it VERY easily and I LOVE it. It's amazing, I like it better than any pain medicine I've ever been sent home on and will request it in the future.
