It depends on your history. Which I would like to know. Because if you have a serious problem with pain meds you need to tell your doc. Otherwise you leave open doors. Like this instense. You got pills. I am not sure of your history so I don't want to overstep the line here but if you have a serious addiction problem you can't leave any open doors that will give you the opportunity to use. I know all to well that 2 days of pill use can lead to others and before you know it you are back at the beginning and facing those awful w/d's. I am not saying this to hurt. But rather out of support. You should be avoiding pills at any cost.

I got into a car wreck last week. Minor, not my fault but I got whip lash, a strained back, and pinched nerves. My doc knows so I wasn't given anything stronger then 800mg of ibuprofen, physical therapy and chiropractor. And you know what?  I did all 3 and the pain wasn't bad at all. If I hadn't told my doc and if I wasn't on suboxone or in IOP where I might get a UI you can bet I would have gotten pain killers and I would have taken them and I would have enjoyed them and I would be back at the beginning.

I feel awesome in knowing I can do this w/o pills because now I don't have guilt or worries about w/d's because I didn't leave an out.

So you need to be honest with yourself and decide what you want?  If it is to be clean and free of drugs you have to tell your doctor. If anyone tells you that you don't have to well quite frankly they don't care. And they probably aren't being honest with themselves.

But again I don't know your history so please understand I am speaking to you as if you have a serious addiction problem and that you don't want to be on pain meds.

you should be ok... maybe some tummy cramping.

just be careful... the more "here and there's" you might take one, the urge I think will come flyin' back.

but as far as the d/t's - you should be fine...
