post op pain relief
Hi, i'm due to have surgery this wk to remove a 10cm Dermoid cyst, does anyone know if you are given pain relief to take home and if so what tablets do they give you? I'm concerned that just Paracetamol or similar won't be strong enough, also is there anything i could buy to help with gas pain that i hear you get? Many thanks
I was put on codeine/ibuprofen. And also dextropropoxyphene, which has now been taken off the market. You will probably be given something with codeine and ibuprofen in it, as well as probably another drug in the mild opioid category :)
Good luck!
Good luck!
Ok thank you, do you know what kind of pain relief they generally prescribe to take home?
They should discharge you with a prescription for meds after the surgery. If something dosent work well for you you should let them know before they give you the prescription. Some doctors will give you all your post of info the day you see them in the office. You should also remind them of any allergies you have to medication. Good luck with your surgery
