I don’t want to sound like I’m popping pills but...
I had breast reduction surgery 3 days ago, and they obviously prescribe pain killers but they only prescribe 4 pills!!? They prescribed 4 Oxycodone. I’m literally out already. I took one the night after surgery, the next night before bed, one the next morning, and I took one tonight because I AM IN A LOT OF PAIN. Im also doing the Tylenol and ibuprofen switch every 3 hours. They told me I wouldn’t be in very much pain but holy shit I am. Its hard to even sit down on the toilet without almost crying. It takes me 5+ minutes just to get out of bed because of how badly it hurts. Where my drains were, the stitches were getting pulled out of my skin and my bra that I have to wear for 6 weeks rubs the ever living hell out of the stitches under my boobs. Everything hurts to do. And the only thing that could get the pain under control was the pain killers. I wish they would have given me enough to at least get through the first week. I don’t take them to abuse them, I take them so I’m not in pain and I only took them when my pain reached an 8 pain level.
