I really wish we would quit being so puritanical about pain meds in this country.

I agree. I am having my mouth reconstructed with implants/prosthetics because my eating disorder damaged my teeth to the point that they were really just pus filled painful stumps...I had to have 12 very large metal implants placed and part of my jaw shaved off. Now I have broken both my ankles, broke my collar bone into 4 pieces, punctured a lung, broke 8 ribs and had a massive heart attack and this surgery hurt more than anything I have ever endured physically...The aftermath was horrific. .my mouth nearly swollen shut and I was vomiting for 12 hours from pain no matter how many drugs I got. After a few days they switched me from percocet to tramadol and Tylenol. They might as well have given me sugar cubes. The effect is so.minimal I can't imagine it has much abuse potential
