I'm concerned about the pain I will experience after my surgery, which is in 4 days. I filled my prescription which was for only 3 Percocet, total. It reads to take 1 to 2 every 4-6 hrs as needed for pain but that's just enough for 1 day then, if I'm experiencing a lot of pain. Do you think this is a mistake? Should I call or is this the normal amount prescribed for post operative pain?
