Need some info

OK as of Saturday i was  24 days clean


I had my cousins wake to go to, During the wake  i trip over a rug and fell onto my bad knee...

I had to have a ambulance pick me up and bring me to the hospital .  
For reference to new people, i have had 8 knee surgeries in the past 2 1/2 years , on my right knee.

Well it was my right knee that i fell onto . I suffered a twisted knee. And it swell to about 2 sizes of a grapefruit .

I was given pain meds in the hospital, and percs when i came home. Though initially after the hospital i refused any more pain meds. After i tried to get up repeatedly to go to the bathroom myself i was unable to due to pain.

Well this is tues and the pain has subsided enough to where i dont wanna take anymore medication .

Im really pissed off that this happened. Though my friends and family have been there for me, i feel as though i let myself down, by even taking them for the legit pain .

My question is, Are the withdrawals going to be as bad as they were before ?  I just wanna know what i have to look forward to .

I think with taking such a little dose you should be okay. You might feel some discomfort, irritability or have some trouble sleeping but it shouldnt be anything like the initial withdrawls. DO NOT beat yourself up over taking it for pain, because after all isnt that what the drug was made for? If anything, you should be proud of yourself for not using your knee as an excuse to get back on the drugs ( not saying that your not in pain, cause I am sure you are). Just stick to what you are doing!

I think you'll be fine. You didn't over do it. Just don't take anymore and try Motrin 800mgs up to 3x per day for discomfort.
When was the last Percocet?

in my opinion they should not be.  If you were clean 24 days?  How many did you take daily and how many are you taking if any??
