Hi guys, I'm taking percocet 7.5mg for my pain, and I've been told by my doctor that it's ok. Just today, he left me a refill for 45 pills and left me a note saying to take them as needed for my pain. I know that we're not supposed to take pain killers 10 days before surgery, so I'm a little curious as to why taking these are ok. I wouldn't take 'em if I didn't need 'em, but I'm a tad nervous... Something I did notice today was that instead of writing the script for 7.5/500, he wrote it for 7.5/325... I read it up online, and it turns out that one's lower in Tylenol... what does that mean? I have my pre admission test on Monday, and I'd hate for them to disqualify me because of pain killers in my system... I apologize for being a bother, but I just have to know, so if anyone out there knows anything, please help out... thanks

I think it's fine to take pain medication before surgery, but not aspirin or anti-infllammatories.
