Guest guest Posted March 19, 2004 Report Share Posted March 19, 2004 Hi Lorie: I also had surgery on March 2nd! We're surgery buddies. ;-) Have you tried to see if Motrin or Tylenol can relieve your pain? I've found that that's all I need. I stayed away from narcotics in the beginning b/c I was so afraid of getting nauseated, but I found that OTC pain meds worked just fine.
