according to the Allman Bro's "Tuesday's just as bad."good morning all.. ..just pretend it's Tuesday..
I agree! Day 5 now and have NOT had to take even 1 of those nasty opioid pain pills. The block gets you past the worse of the pain period so no narcotics required!MrsBugmaster, get well soon. That nerve block is great and I wish I could take a bath in the stuff every couple of days. It's the best thing they ever invented.
Stay safe and feel better.

Yes I agree, great stuff. They invented that stuff because before they had a nerve blocker, you would wake up from an operation and were in so much pain, you tried to strangle the surgeon.I agree!

Yes I agree they are helpful in some circumstances. But I think they are over used many times in this country. My doctor gave me a RX for 30 opioid pills in case I need them. This seems excessive to me especially since I got the nerve block. For example, in India they will give you these for 3 days only. (My husband is from India and his brother is an orthopedic surgeon there so I know. My brother-in-law was shocked they gave me that many). I guess it is a sensitive issue for me too because I have two friends that got addicted and a sister that accidentally OD’d and died on them. And yes, cancer is a whole different thing then what is considered a routine surgery.In the right circumstances opioids are a true gift.
I have made gallons of Brompton's mixture for cancer patients. Elixir of morphine, codeine and cocaine in alcohol flavored with cherry and simple syrup.
I worked with a lady in her 60s who had both knees replaced at the same time. She got a prescription for OxyContin with no max. She just kept refilling. It was truly sad to watch. I have this happen way too many times. I am allergic to codeine and all of it's derivatives. I can't get into the politics of big Pharma, but this is the biggest scandal ever how they got doctors to push an addictive drug that has ruined so many lives.Yes I agree they are helpful in some circumstances.
