Medications in the hospital
They struck a balance
Addiction not a concern
Having things to do
Just a precautionary thing
Pain pills after surgery
As far as my pain relief I pretty much just struck to the traditional take your Tylenol-3 or Vicodin or whatever and the pain will go away. I didn't really have any other pain relief. Pretty much being in my own environment kind of helped alleviate the pain a little bit I think. I didn't seek any alternate methods. I read a lot. I would have my friends over. We'd play cards or whatever. Just having people around and having things to do kept my mind away from the pain.
