They gave me liquid morphine. It is important to keep the pain under control. The morphine helped, but I still had considerable pain. I also had Oxycontin and hydrocordon. I stopped the hydrocordone because I thought it was not effective. the morphine I took when needed.
Make sure you use perscription stool softeners or there can be problems with heavy pain meds.
Good luck.
