TKR Terrified

For me, the only pain med that I can tolerate is Dilaudid. I have no idea why I don’t vomit when I take it (with anti nausea meds & food) but it works for me. Might be worth trying, unless you already have.
Good luck!

Yes I forgot that I can take Dilaudid. For my last surgery (hip) they wouldn't send it home with me though and I don't know why.

You need to talk to your surgeon before surgery. If it’s something you can take, you need to discuss that now.

I cannot tolerate any of the Oxy meds. It took me 10+ years and several surgeries but I finally managed to have them list it with my allergies. I brought it up to every single medical professional I spoke to as we prepped for this last surgery and there it was, on the wrist band with the other allergies.

Instead of having to ask for Dilaudid and explain at every shift change, Dilaudid was listed on my medication plan.

I had tapentadol. No nausea, no vomiting, no constipation. An excellent pain med.
I can’t tolerate other opioids.
