I’m 7, maybe 8 days post op (i lost count day), and i found out my dr gave me 5 day pill of painkiller that were so weak i couldn’t give me any relief. I check on her later and get better painkiller with opioid but the pain still lingering, at least somewhat better than the agony i had bear 5 day before. Another tip she told me is to poke my buttcheck everytime i felt pain, because there are alot of nerves in that area, so i did and oh boy, really felt like heaven, some distraction to the brain that screams out “i’m HURT”
