Most patients find that they take their pain pills more often throughout the days of their first and second weeks of recovery. After some healing time and physical therapy, patients typically require less frequent dosing, eventually stopping the pain medication at about 4-6 weeks after surgery.etween the two options are a series of numbers from 0 (no pain) to 10 (unbearable pain). Based on what you feel as your level of pain on the 0 to 10 scale, you will inform the nurse of this number, and pain medication will be given accordingly.
Pain medications - narcotics. Narcotics are also called opioid pain relievers. They are used only for pain that is severe and is not helped by other types of painkillers. When used carefully and under a health care provider's direct care, these drugs can be effective at reducing pain. Narcotics work by binding to receptors in the brain, which blocks the feeling of pain. You should not use a narcotic drug for more than 3 to 4 months, unless you are under direct care of your provider.
