Advice & Tips:
Because of other conditions (lupus, fibromyalgia), post-surgical pain takes at least three times longer to subside for me. This has often been a problem with doctors who are freaked out about addiction. I have NO history of addiction to anything except tobacco, but this seldom makes a difference. I get really tired of trying to convince these people that I AM IN PAIN STILL. Fear of the return of worse pain can make me very upset, which doesn't help. Still, even when I'm calm about it, I still hit the wall of their Fear of Addiction. Pain management still has a long way to go in the medical profession.
I have never had a problem tapering off endocet/oxycodone as the pain lessens and subsides.
