If you get your gallbladder removed and your surgeon says it could cause diarrhea for a while but your discharge papers say take stool softener because of the pain medication? Listen to the surgeon.
It hasn’t been a fun couple of days.
Thank you for reading my very short rant. Back to the bathroom!
I’ve had a lot of experience with opiates already. I have a very painful nerve disorder and I had a neurologist who tried for something like two years to find the “right” one that would work on it and none of them ever did. I never got addicted in the sense that I ever felt a craving for any of it, but I did go through withdrawal for a couple of days, which was not fun. So I’m not worried about abusing it by using it for 3 or 4 days.
Oh, for sure, I do not mean anyone in particular, just seemed silly as a blanket policy, but I did not consider it might be percoset. That one is kind of abuse-at-your-own-risk since taking too many risks liver injury.
It’s tramodol, not percocet. Still strong, but I really don’t like the way they make me feel other than the pain relief, which is going to make it pretty easy to stop today.
