Is it normal?

Sorry you still hurt so bad. the first two weeks i hurt bad and was on vicodin and after the first two weeks i still took it at night. just rest and take it easy. try not to over do it. your still early in recovery
hugs

I tried not taking it because I dont like feeling loopy and because I had a pain ball when I was in the castle but I found when they took that out that the incision was really bothering me so I am on them 1 every 4 hours and at night I am taking 2 every 6 or until I wake up......weird dreams....next week I will try and switch to motrin.....don't stress about it I found that if I stay ahead of the pain I can move and walk easier.....take care

I had to have pain meds for almost a month after my TAH/BSO. Everyone handles pain differently, dont be affraid to call you dr if you are about out of meds. You need to be relaxed and comfortable in order to heal.
