Pain Meds

At my consult yesterday the doc said she send you home with Lortab 5mg tablets. That doesn't seem like much to me. What were you guys sent hom with after a TT?

I was sent home w/ Darvocet 100mg take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. I was also given a RX for valium for muscle spasm not sure but I think that was 5 or 10 mg.

Had my surgery Monday morning.  I am not really in pain at all.  They sent me home with Darvocet and I havent taken it.  I just feel drawn down tight.  Not really in pain.  I do have a good tolerance for pain anyway.  But I think Lortab would do just enough.

Good luck and remember to keep a positive attitude.  It makes all the difference in the world.

I had vicoden for each of my surgeries.  1 or 2 every 6 hours.  They worked well for me.

I think that is what I had. You will be fine. I could have actually just took tylenol. But I might have a higher pain tolerance than others. I took the surgery and pain very well.

I think it's in the same family as Vicodin.....

 I stayed overnight in the hospital and had morphine every 4 hours.  I wasn't sent home with any pain medication but I did have an On-Q pain pump.  I took Extra-Strength Tylenol.

In the hospital I get IV morphine and dilaudid tablets for break through pain. I am sent home with dilaudid.  I  have a bad reaction to the oxycodone/vicadin type pain meds.

 Let me just go ahead and admit that I am the weenie of the bunch on here.  I took percocet 10mg alternating with demerol at first, then stepped back to lortab 10mg, then to ultram 50mg, which I still take occasionally.  Even with a hefty dose of those meds, I still had breakthrough pain for the first few days.  After about 2 1/2 weeks it has started to become bearable.  I thought I had a high pain tolerance until I had this tummy tuck.  Guess I don't!

I'm taking Percocet 1-2 every 4 hours. I have times when I don't need any for 6 hours, but then there are times when I need the full dose, usually after I've done something strenuous. I'm 1 week post op.
