How long were you on pain medication?



Recommended Posts

I am a week out, and I am still in some moderate pain. Nothing feels wrong... no stabbing pain anything... but just an ongoing ache and discomfort. My pain medication runs out on Saturday, but I am wondering if I should try to get it renewed tomorrow...

So.may.i ask... how long were you on pain medication?

I still have over half of what they prescribed me. I don't like pain pills though and sleeping all the time was worse for me than the discomfort. I took them until about day 3 out of the hospital. Then occasionally for the next week.

I took them for about a week but the last couple days I could've not taken it. I wasn't in much pain after about 5 days- just felt like muscle soreness but I figured there was no need to be in pain if I didn't have to be so I kept taking it. Some people handle pain differently though - I have a friend who did still need hers when she ran out. The doctor refilled it for her.

If you think that you need it then get a refill. No need to suffer.

I took them night and day for four days, then only at night for a few more. Everyone is different. Don't suffer, take it if you need it. :-)

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
