Today I went to my 2 week pre op and found out that my doctor doesn't prescribe narcotics unless that combo doesn't work, the celebrex and Gabapentin... . I'm unsure about it and need more opinions about that combo because I am scared to death that I'm going to be in pain after surgery. The only anesthesia he uses threw the surgery is need to put you asleep.
I went in for another checkup again since my nerve pain has been so bad. They have me a prescription for Gabapentin, just stared it, lets hope this helps! By the way, morning boob as Ive heard people call it before is so painful! I love my results however just had no clue Id have this pain
How long can I expect the incisions (under breast) to be sore? My dominate is pretty sore but no swelling, redness, or heat coming from it. I was given Gabapentin but DO NOT want to take that anymore. I know I can take Tylenol but anything else I can do to help maybe alleviate that? 1 week post op. Also don't want to take the 4000 mg per day of Tylenol she said I can take. My stomach wasn't handling that very well! Thanks!
I had a breast augmentation 17 days ago and I am still experiencing quite a bit of pain and discomfort. I am due back at work this week as a district nurse but don't feel ready yet am I being over dramatic about it? I am still not going a lot of normal everyday tasks as they hurt. Could I take gabapentin for the pin pricking type pain ? I feel quite low in mood wil this get better?
I had significant pain post-op despite exparel. I was been given Percocet 5, Valium 5, and gabapentin. My PS called to check on me the night of day 2 and he called in toradol, and refills of the Valium and gabapentin which were very helpful. He gave me a new script for Percocet the next day too. Thing is, I have three children, one of whom is disabled and I'm still in pain not managed by Tylenol. Is it unreasonable to ask for a refill of the Valium, toradol, gabapentin, and maybe a Tylenol 3?
