Hey all,

I'm new here as well (1st surgery less than a week ago), but noticed Charm's comment above: "there simply aren't enough patients who go without painkillers to have a debate".

I guess I'm in the minority in that I've used only minimal painkillers. Hated the opiates, and so was sent home from hospital, rather amusingly I think, with children's tylenol. Since it's liquid I can ingest it.

I'd love to discuss this with others, since I feel like it's not a common choice. Since I'm new, I wanted to make sure...is the appropriate thing to do for me to start a new thread elsewhere?

:^) Rahel
