@Mersada. I almost mentioned the fact that you might still experience some pain when everything wore off, but I didn’t want to be Debbie Downer. LOL I think we don’t realize how much the pain meds help until we don’t take them. I went all night without my middle of the night pain pill again. I seem to be able to do that without too much increased pain. Oxy10 is what helps me the most. I’ve been taking it every 4-5 hours, but I’m going to try to stretch it to every 6 today. They only gave me 60 pills, so I’m trying to make them last. They are kind of stingy with pain meds. Last time my ortho gave me two refills, but I think I will have to fight for them this time if I still need them. It’s too bad that the opioid crisis has made it so rough to get pain relief . Anyway, I hope your pain continues to be controlled. You are doing great!
