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?
