Answer: Would it be appropriate to request pain med refill? Thank you for your question. I can understand your apprehension about asking for additional pain medication, but it sounds as if you have a very reasonable cause of your pain after this fall. Make an appointment to see your physician, they will be able to examine you in-person and if it appears warranted can write you another prescription. It is important to always feel comfortable communicating with your physician.

Answer: Pain Meds I think it is still very appropriate at 3 weeks from surgery to request more pain meds. While you should be requiring less pain medication 3 weeks from surgery than right after, it is not uncommon to still have some discomfort that is improved with pain medication, particularly at the end of the day.
