I had surgery today. I have all my prescribed medication. I plan to get off the heavy pain meds on day 3. As for the muscle relaxers, it says when needed. Do I have to take them? I've heard other ladies make them feel groggy. Thanks in advance!
Answer: MUSCLE RELAXERS ??? In plastic surgery in Mexico nationwide muscle relaxants are not a standard medication in the post op setting... This is a surgeons choice for the patient... Even with pain meds, we encourage patients not to take them if they are not needed, So If you don´t feel needing the medication don´t take them... You'll do great, best regards!

Answer: Post Op Pain Medication Hello,Thank you for your question. If a medication is prescribed, "as needed" or, PRN, then you may take it only if you need it and you can choose not to. Many BA find that they can be comfortable taking less than what is prescribed for pain but you have the option of taking them when necessary. Ask your surgeon if you have any questions specific to your medications or recovery so that they can advise you.All the best

Answer: Muscle Relaxers after Breast Aug Thank you for your question. It is not absolutely necessary for you to take a muscle relaxer following surgery although it will alleviate discomfort and can assist in helping the muscle relax which will help the implants settle into the breast pocket. Please discuss with your surgeon as everyone's protocol is different.
