I had fairly extensive sinus surgery a year ago and can vouch for this. I was on a huge dose of Hydrocodone for 2 weeks all the time and then for the next 3 weeks at night only with Darvocet during the day.

I've had surgery before and have given birth 3 times w/o anesthesia and this surgery was by far the most painful thing I've endured. I started getting worried about being on the meds so long and kept asking my Dr. if it was ok.

He always asked if I was still in pain to which I answered yes, he said then don't worry about it, if you are in pain you need the drugs and it will eventually heal and the pain will go away.

He was right, but I sure did get some weird looks from my Pharmacist when I went for refills. They ended up calling him 3 separate times to make sure he really had authorized that amount of pain meds.

Our wonderful DEA at work. You're lucky you got a doctor that would prescribe the actual amount you needed.
