Not able to use pain medications...help!
I had LapBand surgery almost 2 years ago and am now ready to begin the plastics phase. The problem is, I have an inner ear disorder and am extremely intolerant to any narcotic pain medications. I've had 7 surgeries in the past and never used anything other than Toradol (briefly for 2 of my surgeries) and Tylenol for the rest. I'm looking at having a LBL, Breast lift and Augmentation, and Brachioplasty (not all at once). Any suggestions on how to deal with pain management? Would it be possible and not completely unbearable to get through recovery without use of narcotics?
I had a TT on Monday and although I am doing well, I cannot imagine i would be without the pain meds! I have a fairly high pain tolerance, but I don't know if I would be able to rest without them. I have no experience with Toradol though and have no idea how strong it is and how well it works. They have me on vicodin.
I had a TT & hysterectomy together last year and a inner thigh back & butt lift in the spring and I don't take Narcotics for the pain . I ust tylenol becaise Narcotics make me so nauseous I want to die. I must have a high pain tolerance but I can't stand the nauseau. I am having a Brachioiplasty & lipo on Monday
The inner thigh surgery was the worst out of them all. I will let you know how I make out
