I, too, think Percocets are pretty worthless. They have Tylenol in them, and some people have no relief from that NSAID. You may want to take ibuprofen (Motrin, Advil) with the Percs and use ice packs. I had my tonsils taken out when I was in my late twenties and was given those as well. It was agony even to swallow them and they did nothing for me. The doc’s advice was, well take two, well take three...please. I couldn’t eat anything for a week, but I lost 10 pounds! If you’re still in pain Monday, ask your doc for something else. I’ll pray for you.
Surgeon was a dear.
Met me at his office at 17:00 [closed at 12:00] as seemed like the last tea bag was soaked in blood, some newish.
Turned out he didn’t want to mess with the sutures already done and it has worked out.
He was happy to give me a scrip for hydrocodone. Working much better.
Leaves me drowsy which is good. Hurts like the dickens to swallow . . . movement of denture against shredded cheek and gums when I swallow. UNfun.
Thanks tons for your prayers.
