All I can say is take the pills if you are in pain. You can combat the constipation
mine is hydrocodone. ..I am taking ibuprofen too....mirlax and stool softeners as well. The pain hasn't lessen yettigerbutt2 wrote:Ooh, ouch! One a day was definitely not enough for my in the first few days post-surgery. The first day I took them every 6-8 hours as directed. I too was scared about constipation, so I tried taking 1/2 a pill every 6-8 hours for day 2-3 I think, supplementing with an ibuprofen or two as needed (just be sure you don't go over around 1,600mg / day on those, and eat with them). I was surprised how effective just 1/2 a pill was (mine was oxycodone I think). I think by around day 4 I was just doing ibuprofen (but the max amount), and within a few days after that I was weening it down. I think by day 10 or so I didn't need anything anymore. Best of wishes to you on your recovery and pain management!
