Posted on another thread today about perc 10 withdrawal help. I appreciate all the feedback.
On a side issue related to this, the reason I've been on the perc 10's is for a ruptured disc in my neck. I'm having surgery at the end of this month to repair the ruptured disc and I'm very concerned about post surgery pain management due to my extremely high tolerance to opiates. I'm currently on a run of about 2 weeks taking the percocet 10's (7-10 a day, which I'll soon be out of) and that just barely alleviatesthe pain. Obviously the post surgery pain will be much more substantial and I'm only going to be in the hospital for one night, so for the majority of the 1-2 weeks of recovery I will be at home on prescribed PO meds.
Has anyone on the board dealt with situation? Any ideas about how to deal with this in regards to discussing with doctor, etc? Getting supplemental meds isn't really an option for me. Thanks.
