Hi my name is Pam I'm new just trying to find friends and support on here hun,and find out what I can about the surgery before I have it..

Now, I don't like pain. So you are hearing from someone who will not tough it out if you know what I mean.

After the 5th or 6th day an occasional Tylenol was all the I needed. I hope that helps.

Hi Alicia,

Yes. I didn't find pain to be an issue. Yes, after surgery in the hospital there was some soreness. However, the hospital was terrific and gave me whatever I needed. I am trying to remember. I had dilautin. What a wonderful trip the first night. Whenever I wanted pain meds I asked and they gave them.

By the time I got home I was feeling much better (2 night stay). I took Oxycodones, but only when I needed them. Don't deny yourself if you do feel pain. There is no need to worry about becoming addicted to pain killers. The pain was more an awareness of soreness around the incisions. If I didn't bother them they didn't bother me! At night, I did take a pain killer so I could sleep. I think I was pretty much finished with pain killers by the 5th or 6th day as my pain level was staying below 5 on a scale from 1 to 10 with 10 being the worst.
