Hi folks.

I've searched the forum but not found a topic explicitly for this topic.

(Thanks to those that replied in my Implant Journey Post, and perhaps you could cut and paste into this one as well).

I'm now 8 days after surgery and for the first week i was taking nothing for the pain.

I've now been given Paracetamol which is working for me now.

We're all different so i realise that what works for me is going to do nothing for you.

Hi Ian.

I found Tramadol completely took my pain away. In fact, I reckon I was in a pain free Tramadol haze for about 3 weeks once I realised that the only way to rid myself of the pain was to manage it and stay ahead of it. Once I took Tramadol every 4 hours, I then had very little pain. I knew the pain was still there but just that I couldn't feel it. I stupidly thought that one day I could just decide I didn't need it any more and ceased. Man, how naive was I!!!!! Cold turkey of major restlessness, absolutely no sleep and general fidgeting soon put me back on the Tramadol and I came off it in a managed way like I was meant to. After that, I was completely fine.

I have chronic nerve pain from damage and brachial plexcitias (sp?).... been call over the best hospitals in Chicago and eventually ended up @ Mayo a clinic trying control my pain... currently I am on 3400 mg of Gabapentin and 10mg of oxycodlnd 3x daily... so going into my surgery that was going to be the baseline of where the doctors would begin treating me.  

I can't imagine only getting Paracetamol (basically tylonol or Ibuprofin) for pain.  

They sent me home with hydromorphone (2mg) in a addition to baseline... that coupled with an anti-inflammatory really helped.  Still didn't relieve all my pain... but I made it thru.

Again I had a circumferential incision where they peeled me down like a damn banana...

My Doc said they usually give 10mg Norco... we both knew that wasn't gonna help me at all but for a normal individual.

There is nothing wrong with taking the pain meds as prescribed.  I have said it before- Pain is overrated.  Been there and done that...

That's my story and I am sticking to it
