Hello,
This is Chris, Anya's husband, writing for her again. She's two weeks plus one day post-op and still experiencing a huge amount of pain in her hips, ribs, and back daily. She's on oxycodone for pain relief with intermittent Tylenol as well. For the oxycodone, there is an extended-release tablet which we're weaning her off of for the next two weeks, and also up to 15 mg of short-acting oxycodone that she can take every 4-6 hours. The doctors said she could be on oxycodone for one more week, putting her just past the three week mark. Does this kind of pain treatment sound consistent with your experiences post-op? What were the courses of medication that your doctors put you on, and how long was it generally until the pain became noticeably less?
Thanks for your input,
Chris and Anya
