Hi Girlies...

Just wondering what pain killers you get given if your a daycase???

Also my only worry about my BA is that I can't swallow tablets.... Do you think calpol 6+ (I know how pathetic that is!). Will deal with my pain when I'm home??

Haha I'm such a wimp but just can't physically swallow them :-) xxxx

Hi
I was given co-dydramol tablets , why not let your PS know your problem in advance and the hospital may be able to give you some liquid painkillers of the same strength . Best of luck :-)

You can get soluble painkillers hun, just tell your ps your problems with swallowing tablets. xx

Do you get given morphine in a drip?

I'm just getting a bit panicking. But I will ask the nurse at my pre op next week :-) xxx

Yes, you will get pain relief if you really need it sweetheart - some girls need it, some don't - the doctors or nurses will decide at the time. You will not be expected to put up with severe pain in any way.

Ah thanks Carol.... Am just starting to panic that I won't be able to swallow the tablets :-(

So have 4 bottles of calpol and ice packs on hand in case I do need it :-) xxxx

I was given tramadol hun, which are capsules with powder inside. I was a daycase and didn't need to take anything until the next day, then I stopped after day 2 and went to ibuprofen instead, as I didn't need anything stronger. But in all honesty you will be fine with liquid ibuprofen Or calpol (bless you..!) as you really won't be in pain - it's more uncomfortable and tight feeling rather than painful. And I'm normally a wimp!!

Im afraid I must be a wimp to then hun as I ccant swallow tablets either yet my 6 year old can! :doh:

I just tell them I cant swallow tablet, take the " are you serious talk" then tell them no really I cant and nine times out of ten they give me my medication in syrup form :teehee:
If this fails then I just chew the tablets!

Thank u so much! I feel better that there are others out there! Haha!

I'm really used to the "your winding me up" talk! Haha. All the doctors chuckle as they give me my prescription in banana medine form! Haha.

How did you deal with pain relief after your BA?? Xxxx

I had paracetamol after my op, yes prescribed lol and some antibiotics. I'm sure they will have something. I didn't have a morphine drip as they gave me painkillers while I was under GA. When I woke up they asked if I was in pain, I said yes even though I meant no lol so they gave me morphine in a cup, didn't taste of anything, I was so thirsty I'd have drunk water from a puddle lol

I think I had some painkillers while under GA then had paracetamol and tramadol on prescription. I'm sure you could get some soluble ones if you mention it to them.

by lola_blsk 28th February 2011, 7:23 pm

Do you think if I tell them at the hosp they'll inject some in me whilst I'm asleep???

Thanks for the advice girls xxxx

You will probably need painkillers for a few days hun so they will be able to prescribe some soluble or liquid painkillers
