valve replacement surgery
by mfolsom, Jan 12, 2008 04:40PM
My mother had replacement valve surgery on Oct 19th 2007. I think she is doing well but
she still complains about "sharp" pains around the surgery site. She is still taking
her pain medication (vicodin) once or twice a day. She has had no complication since the
surgery and is walking just fine. Her breatheing can be laborsome...but overall the surgery was
a success. My question is, Is it stil normal to be taking Vicodin regularly at this stage of the
recovery?? It has been about 3 months since her surgery.
