Pain
"Post abdominal hysterectomy with anterior and posterior repairs and bladder lift. I was prescribed toradol 10mg scheduled every 6 hours with tylenol 3 every 4-6 as needed.   As long as I don&#039;t go any longer than those minimum times I do okay with about a 4 pain level.  I haven&#039;t been pain free yet but I guess that&#039;s to be expected.....tylenol 3 has worked ok but does start to wear off towards the end of the 4 hours. I must wait....it is a shame though that there is so much abuse of narcotic strength drugs like norco...they are extremely effective for post surgical pain....they are very addictive and Drs don&#039;t even like prescribing them much anymore"
