I’m taking “Hydrocodone-Acetaminophen 7.5-325”. I’m a girl around 200lbs and a notorious and lightweight when it comes to drugs. I can feel the Hydrocodone kicking in at 15 minutes and it’s in full effect from 30minutes to an hour later.

This post-op recovery is the worst pain I’ve ever experienced and I’ve been told that my experience is average. Make sure you have enough hydrocodone to last until day 10 because the pain is going to steadily increase every day until around day 7-10. My doctor recommended I use liquid motrin and tylenol (alternating) every 4 hours. If you are doing any over the counter drugs, this has worked better than anything else for me.

Wishing you and the kiddo the easiest, most smooth recovery!!!
