I was prescribed Tylenol+Codein first time and Dervocet (sp?) second time .
Needed ONE tablet first time - actually not needed , but was advised to take on as soon as I come home. Since pain was negligible I took plain Tylenol for the next couple of days.
Second time I had 7 cuts done - so more pain , of course. Took Dervocet (sp.?) maybe 2 -3 pills a day for maybe 5... 6 days and some Vallium to relax my spasms (my butt got into the shock due to so much cutting).
After that first week started with plain Tylenol for one more week and than did not need any ...
Healed my 7 cuts in 8 week period.
Hope it helps.
PS: BTW - most people are in LESS pain after the LIS , as you can read from recent posts
