Would it be appropriate to request pain med refill?

Its ok to discuss how you are feeling even after 3 weeks. It is not infrequent that I am refilling a pain medicine  script even 3-4 weeks out. It's never wrong to be honest with your doc about how you are feeling. let me knowJohn S Mancoll,MD 

Patients handle pain very differently in the postoperative period.  There is no shame in discussing the pain that you're having with your surgeon, especially if you have had a recent fall.  I'm sure that he or she would want to know about this.  While it is not the norm, it is certainly not unheard of for patients to still be using prescription pain medication three weeks after their procedure. I recommend that you schedule an appointment with your surgeon to be evaluated and possibly get a refill on your pain medication.

Hello, and thank you for this question. Yes it is fine and can ask for a pain refill from your treating surgeon. As one of the other surgeons had recommended get a followup visit to make sure you are healing uneventfully. Best of luck.
