    Default how long did you take your pain meds after your BA?

    is it bad to take them for a while? i got 60 demerols, and 40 valiums, so obviously they were intended for more than a few days use. ive been alternating so i take a pill every 2 hours, and usually the demerols are doubled up.

    like

    6pm- valium
    8pm- demerol
    10pm- demerol
    12am- valium

    since the valium has to have 6 hours in between, but the demerol says take 1 to 2 every 4 hours. so i just take 2 spread apart. and i have to wait 2 hours between valium and demerol.

    i dont know when i'll stop needing them, because i guess i'd have to stop taking them to see if i was having pain. if i was though, that would suck. its only been a few days, and i dont have much else to do. but ive read on here that girls stop taking them after a few days.

    I stopped after about a week. I did not want to feel any pain. I had my boobs and some light lipo, so I was bruised all over the place.

    The only way I knew I was in pain was if I waited longer than the intended time to take it. If it was 3 hours in, and I felt pain, I took it.

    You'll "know" when you can stop.

    The pain isn't so bad once the pain meds are gone its the tightness of the muscle and skin. That's alot of demerol and valium btw. I would save the valium for later. I probably stopped after 5-7 days for boobs. Then took them when I needed to relax my muscles.

    The lipo .. much more painful. So I took meds for about 2 weeks for that.

    ^ i have a reeeeally low tolerance for pain. i just dont want to feel it at all, haha. plus it helps me sleep. this is only the 4th day. i'm hoping to be at least slowing down with them over the next few days, but im not sleeping very well. i wake up and its right around the scheduled time to take them, so i figure thats my body's way of telling me i need them.

    i just wish they didnt knock me out so much. im sick of sleeping. i wish i could not be in so much pain but watch a movie, or read a book, or something.

    the dr told me the valium would help the most, more than the demerol, but maybe i'll try to save those for before bed and just take a demerol every 4 hours during the day.

    I quit on the second day. They made me pukey, and that was worse than the pain of the BA. I switched to Tylenol after that.

    I took my pain meds for a week (he only gave me enough for 2 days at first!!!!!!) I stashed my valium because I knew I'd need it later down the line. And boy am I glad I did! There were morning i'd wakeup and have soo much tightness, and the valium helps with that. I got flexeril also, which realllllllly did the trick. Esp. at night time
    My dr. said I was probably one of his hardest recoveries the other day though. So don't take my account with too much of heart.

    Damn, that's a lot of valium. I got 6, I think, for muscle tightness and spasms.

    Took the pain meds for 5 days.

    I took them for about 4 days because I was sick of sleeping 16 hours a day. I didn't have pain, but the tingling stopped after a week or two.

    I'm not sure what I got, it's in spanish but I'm pretty sure it's extra strength tylonol like the kind they give at the hospital.

    He said to take one every 6 hours but I took one every 3 because I could start feeling the tightness coming back after 3. I used them for 1 1/2 days like that but I had a feeling I didn't really need them and then took a couple more every 6 hours and then stopped because I realized there was no point.

    I didn't want to NOT take them and have some major pain creep up on me and then have to wait 45 min for it to start to go away. I still have a full box left of pain pills I didn't use.

    i thought it seemed like a lot of EVERYTHING, but i was like well.. im not the dr.. i think im going to try to start taking 1 demerol every 4 hours, and if i need more than that take another one, and save the valium for night time.

    the nurse just said the valium would help more than the pain pills.. bah i just want to be all better now. k thanks. lol.

    im kinda sick of sleeping too but on the other hand i dont have much else to do. not a single one of my movies looks appealling to me, and im trying really hard to get into a book but i already finished the new stephanie plum book and i want more of that one . haha.. so i guess i dont mind sleeping too much.

    my moms coming over later though so i can take a shower. maybe i'll feel better then.

    It's not an issue of being brave, for me, it was always an issue of being comfortable. You'll find that after a few weeks you can decrease your dosage pretty considerably. For me... mornings were the WORST! So I'd always pop a pill first thing in the morning.

    If you're still having pain don't feel pressured to stop because everyone else did. I think mentally it'll slow your recovery down even more because your hurting and sad because your hurting, and get really frustrated.

    Every doctor's technique is different and our muscles and and skin and pain tolerance. So if your're still hurting your not being a baby or anything, it's just your body doing what it's supposed to, telling you "HEY!! somethings wrong!!" but you already know that because your the one who put the boobies in there so you have to shut em up with meds. Eventually they'll get the memo and stop trying to tell you something new is in your body and you'll be pain free

    So what incision did you go with? How are they looking?

    i went with the incision under the crease. theyre 330cc bags overfilled to 360 ccs (i think.. the card says 330 with 360 written next to it and i think it was CKXXX who said she thinks thats what that means) and i'll be a c cup. which im happy with. he told me with my frame i'd look ridiculous going bigger, and that he sees people making the wrong choice every day, so he was glad i made the right one.

    theyre looking good! i only saw them once so far but my mom is coming over later to help me get undressed so i can shower and i'll take a good look at them then

    If you are really worried,dont be afraid to call and ask your Dr. Thats what he's there for!

    I have to take pain meds almost every day because of chronic pain conditions,and will likely have to for the rest of my life. So believe me...unless you are worried about addiction...dont worry at all if you have to take them for longer then anyone.

    And for the record..after my BA(which was before my other conditions were diagnosed) I took my pain pills for about a week. I had percs which made me sick so as soon as I could I stopped taking them. I got tired of shoving the anti-nausea suppositories up my butt!!

    I was prescribed Percocet, and I stopped taking it after the first day because I thought it was making me barf. (Turns out it was a side effect of the anesthesia doing that.) Instead, I took a larger-than-recommended dose of Extra Strength Tylenol. The recommended dose is 2 pills every 4-6 hours, and I took 3 pills every 3-4 hours. But it did work, and I was able to sleep and get through my recovery without a whole lot of pain. I stopped taking the Tylenol on, I think, Day 5, which was the day when I finally felt about 95% and could be up and about all day.

    grrr i wake up like clockwork when its time for more! i was all nice and passed out from my valium, and then i still wake up in pain. it isnt actually pain, more like discomfort, but i figure if he gave me so many pills, i might as well take them, because why be uncomfortable while the pills are just sitting there in their little bottle?

    i also think im not going to worry too much since it has only been 4 days so far.. i dont think i was counting on the pain being so bad ahead of time. i was thinking i'd be on painkillers for a few days and then it'd be smooth sailing from there. obviously, i was misinformed.

    im really glad i had experience with diff painkillers from when i broke my ankle because percocet makes me sick too.. i can only imagine being that kind of sick right now. it makes me cringe just to think about it. i feel for you girls who dealt with that!

    I took Percoset that day and the next day - 1/2 a pill every 4 hours or so... then switched to OTC Tylenol on day 3. I have a fairly high pain tolerance.

    4 Days is nothing. Remember... they gave you a bunch of pills, so even if you finish them, its ok. My best friend had her boobs done and she finished her pills and actually had to ask her doc for a few more because she was in so much pain.

    You know how it is. Everyone is different. You arent less of a person because you took the pills longer. Shit, I might have even gone more than a week. I just cant remember. lol
