I am a 40 year-old woman 5’2 and 130 pounds. I am overall pretty healthy, exercise and take care of myself. I do have Hashimoto’s. I have a breast reduction scheduled soon. absolutely do not want to have to take prescription pain pills unless absolutely necessary. I am wondering what percent of your patients are able to manage on just OTC medication’s and gabapentin.
