In hospital of course they gave me morphine but when I went home for some reason I wasn't given a prescription for the pain med (lortab?). Maybe I had it and I didn't know it or something happened but in any case I didn't take anything once I was home. I just slept it off and my pain level was mild, I felt a little discomfort but nothing major. Good Luck!

I used pain meds in the hospital. Once I was home I had a prescription for lortab. I took it once and about puked! It's liquid, and I swore I would die before I could stomach another swig of that evil potion! ICKY!!!! So No pain med's once I was home. Just walk...sip..rest...walk...walk...oh and did I say walk?

I used my pain meds the fist 2 days while in the hospital and then told them no more. the only time after that I used them was for the 9 hour plane ride home.
