Hi Rayman, all I can say is that it must take a high pain med to soothe your pain. The tylenol numbers are like taking M&Ms. There I have to agree with you. Hydrocodone is generic for one of the drugs you mentioned that didn't work for you. You may want your doc to prescribe oxycodone w/apap 5/325 Tabs. It works really well! You many need a more higher dosage on account of your body weight. But you are correct with the Demerol. I had an injection of it once prior to my back surgery because I was having an epidual block injection in hopes that I wouldn't have to have back surgery but that didn't work. The nurse described it as the "feel good of all meds". And boy she wasn't kidding!!! Talk about feeling no PAIN AND GREAT! The world could have been ending and I wouldn't have given a rat's behind! LOL I guess if your doc has no problem with giving you that med and there's no chance of becoming addicted to it I couldn't see the harm in it if it's going to help with pain and your doc agrees to it. Question for you? Did your doc say how much pain to expect? Does he know or do you just want to be prepared for the worse scenerio?
You should wait to see what happens and how you'll feel once out of the recovery room. You may be "jumping the gun" if you know what I mean. Definitely discuss your pain threshold with your doc if you haven't already so he himself can be prepared but wait until after your surgery and the anesthesia(sp) wears off to see how much pain you are really in. Then and only then can you get a true picture of what pain you are really in. Please keep me posted Rayman and be well.
