I am officially one week out. I have been preparing for weeks around my home, work and trying to stay focused on the end result.
For me the pain meds are the most worrisome. I have been in severe pain for sometime but have stuck to Naproxin for relief. Pain pills make me sick as a dog. My doctor prescribed Tramadol for me. I resisted taking it and finally gave it a try. It was terrible, I lost a whole day of work because I was light headed and clammy. My fear is the stronger pain killers at the hospital. If you have a high pain tolerance is it a possibility that you can skip the narcotics?
I have other medical issues that in the past caused me to have a couple of heart attacks. Both times I was extremely sick to my stomach when they happened. The thought of having a third heart attack because I am nauseous is causing me extra stress. Does anyone else have bad reactions to pain pills?
