Hi, I had a tummy tuck with liposuction yesterday morning. I have been in a lot more pain than expected. I had the Experell, but it didn’t seem to work. Now, I am at home and in a lot of pain. I am alternating muscle relaxers and Percocet, but my pain level only comes down a little and doesn’t last long. Is this normal? I know I have a very low pain threshold, but this seems extensive considering the other patient comments.
