pain medication

What pain relief was everyone given to take home with them??? Thanks xxxx

I wasn’t with mya but I was given ibuprofen and liquid morphine. Xx

Just co-codamol, it doesnt seem to be doing ANYTHING for the pain xxx

Paracetamol and ibuprofen x

Just paracetamol! I had partials and was off painkillers by day 4 xx

Co-codamol and works for me very well. But I take regularly 1 tablet for 6 hours even if I am not feeling any pain

I was given co codimol but it made me feel shit so stopped taking it and just took paracetamol and ibuprofen but didnt need any after day 3 xx

Tramadol prescribed by dr there at hospital.. also took para and ibu and later diclo i was never in pain just a bit uncomfortable and tight x

This is so crazy!! I’d take that for a cold or a head ache not my muscle being ripped off my rib cage it doesn’t seem right at all not putting me at ease lol xxxx

missy did you have to ask for that?xxx

I just edited what i posted.. i did have to push to get that in all fairness they gave me lots of other meds before agreeing to tramadol injection and then prescription to take home.. im soo glad i got it i was in pain and it transformed me in 30 minutes from not being able to move to up about no issues.. made things a breeze x

Why do you think they didn’t want to give you it? An injection of pain relief that sounds more like it was you in pain as soon as you came round? They better not leave me in pain I’ll be a crazy person lol ill end up in a padded cell xxx

Msgd u.. they wont leave u in pain dont worry about that.. in fact most are ok whilst in hospital coz they give stuff in surgery x

I wasnt ok pain kicked in 30 mins after being bk to my room.. and im glad it happened then.. coz if i got home and it kicked in id of been in a lot of pain with meds that would barely touch it x

It sounds like they are trying to do it as cheap as they can? I’m really not ok with this lol xx

Hey, they won’t want to give you oramorph (liquid morphine) or anything strong like fentanyl because it reduces your respiratory rate, meaning you will be on oxygen longer and they won’t want to give people it who are day cases especially. Just because they would need to monitor you longer. Plus it’s classed as a control drug in hospitals so they don’t like sending people home on it. I do think they should offer something else to take with cocodamol like nefopam for abit stronger pain relief though. I think it’s purely cause a lot of people opt for day cases so they won’t be able to send you home if you’ve had strong opioids xx

They won’t send you home either if your pain is mega bad, until it’s at an okay level. Plus if your in pain once your home you can go to your doctors and they can prescribe you something to help with the post op pain. So don’t be scared to go and ask for some more if you need it xxx
