[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Without saying what surgery it is, it’s really hard to tell whether this is reasonable or not. [/quote]

+1.  Is this laparoscopic?
[b] Also it’s not clear if this doctor said “never” or “generally Tylenol is enough.” [/b] I had 2 c sections and didn’t really want opioids — I just wanted double strength Motrin.   Another question is whether they give you a pain block for the surgery itself — if so, that may get you through the worst of it.  [/quote]

I think the bolder is the issue. It is highly unlikely that a surgeon NEVER gives out anything stronger than Tylenol. It is more likely that she starts conservatively and moves on to more dangerous pain meds only when necessary and only with medical control. I see that as a healthy change. If you’re going to prescribe highly addictive medications that can be life changing and not in a good way, there should be close medical monitoring.

This being said, OP needs a different doctor because OP clearly does not trust this one. [/quote]
