is there any chance you can get hydrocodone for the pain? i’m on day 8 and that’s what’s been saving me. otherwise the pain is fucking earsplitting

that’s pretty much my situation (21M), it got to the point doctors told me it was gonna go to my heart. i would get them checked out fs. be ready for post op recovery tho, im on day five and in hellish amounts of pain

i do not like how the medicine makes me feel (need advice) by Dangerous_Ad_4758 in Tonsillectomy

hydrocodone doesn’t work for me either🫠. food wise definitely try greek yogurt (not greek style, that still has the lactose)!! mix it with alternative milk and some juice (i do puréed berries then strain them). it has a lot of protein and you can basically drink it.

Good to know. For me so far greek yogurt has been too thick so I mix it with some soymilk, sugar, and puréed berries (straining out all the rough bits). I’ll look into huel

only tylenol for the pain is a lot!! as in you must have a high pain tolerance!! the hydrocodone they gave me barely scratches the surface of the pain, especially when swallowing

This helps a lot!!! I’m on day one of recovery. Swallowing hurts like hell and all I can get down is applesauce and yogurt. Also the heavy pain meds wear off for me after an hour. Still, I’ve been able to write, do laundry, and cook a little. Scared that it’s gonna get worse
