I'm exactly 2 wks post op, I feel tired and seem to feel the nees to nap. I want to go back to normal. I started to clean up the kitchen and started cooking again but i get tired fairly quickly. Is this normal? I'm only taking one pain med at night other than that I'm off pain pills. Mh back is alsl stinging probably from being huntch over but I'm standing alot more straight than last week. So is fatigue normal? when should i completely stop pain meds?
