How'd you manage to get two bottles? Prescription error or intentional? They're dangerous and I'm surprised they gave them to you in such large quantities.
Good orthopedic surgeon...
His opinion is that if you're in any pain at all, it slows down the healing and rehab process. So, every time I'd visit, he wrote another prescription. Sent me home after the surgery with a script for 2 LARGE bottles...that I took for the first week or 2 than stopped taking them.
My pain management doc for my back keeps offering me all kinds of "good stuff" (vicodan which I"m allergic to, oxy, valium, etc.) that I refuse. He's accused me of being "noble" for not wanting to take the dammed pills, but I told him that I'm in school full time, and at my age, I'm stupid enough naturally, I don't need the chemical help...
