Decided to stop taking pain meds today... I'm starting to Regret it. I need to cough to clear up my throat, and then I get stitches taken out. Does that hurt?? I've stitches in my bb...do y'all have some in the incision too? Walking around well, with little hunching. DH has been amazing thru this process! My sleep has been so off... Could it be the pain meds? I'm sleeping on my bed, with lots of pillows to prop me up, and a pillow under my knees.
