So far I am clueless as to what I will be given. I see my surgeon on the 11th, and the day for the procedure will be within 30 days I understand.
But so far I have no precriptions.
They’ll prescribe oxycod/acetaminophen. that’s what i got twice for rotator cuff surgery. Get one of those cold water pumps too. I have one and can’t give it away! Used for my latest rotator cuff surgery.

It’s hard to recommend anything until you know which medications will be prescribed. Search in your area for Medicare insurance advisors and make an appointment with one of them. Maybe call the doctor’s office and ask to speak to his nurse and explain your situation and ask if she can give you the names of the prescriptions usually given after such a surgery.
I was wary until we visited one of the insurance advisors in our area for my husband’s insurance/prescription plan a few years ago. He found the best plan for hubby based upon his current medical issues and prescriptions. There was no charge for his services.
Now, the agent just emails us a form each year to update and if there is no new and better plans available, he advises us to stick with what we have. It is a lot better than searching through all the volumes of info we receive each year or trying to navigate the government’s website. We will visit him again next year when I turn 65 in order to get whatever supplemental plan I will need since I’m still on my former employer’s plan.
Talk to them about what medications they will be prescribing. Get a good rx card and you may find how little you pay.
