Medications in the hospital
They struck a balance
Addiction not a concern
Having things to do
Just a precautionary thing
Pain pills after surgery
The pain was the worst like three or four weeks after the surgery. That is pretty much what the pain pills were for. They gave me a finite amount of pills. I wasn't allowed to get the prescription refilled and that was fine with me. Once I got used to walking and having my leg in a vertical position it wasn't really bad. Then the second time they gave me Vicodin for the second surgery, which I guess was a similar drug and, again, they gave me a certain amount. I wasn't allowed to get them refilled.
