Guest guest Posted September 6, 2002 Report Share Posted September 6, 2002 , My nurses at my Home Infusion Office, where I go each month to get my morphine implanted pain pump refilled, told me to be to take one of my percocet every morning even if I was having just a little pain, because the longer you wait, the longer and possible more pain meds your going to use,if the pain gets out of control and you've waited a long time to take it. I have found that this is true for me. Now when I get up and if I having a little bit of pain I take only 1 pain pill and that does the trick. There are some days I can go clear to bedtime without another pain pill. Before I was waiting till my pain got really bad and then it seemed to take forever to get it uncontrolled. I had to take more and take it more often. This has worked for me as most of the time I'm taking less. I know that you don't won't to be addicted to your pain meds, but you don't want to be in constant pain either. I guess what I trying to say sometimes a little pain meds will do the trick so your not suffering all day needlessly. I know that everyone pain tolerance is different, but so far this has helped me a lot. Take Care, Louie in WV Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
