I guess I was fortunate because either the pain meds didn't work, in fact causing constant nausea or my docs didn't keep trying until they found some that did without the nausea but I eventually stopped all my pain meds and just dealt with the pain. Looking back I don't remember the pain part but I will never forget dealing with that constant nausea which did ease up after I went off the pain meds.
