Kristen,
Hi hon.. How are yu today? I hope your feeling better.. How many vicoden
do you take at a tgime? You can take up to 3, for it to be like extra
strength vicoden.. If you dont want to take that many, jsut take 2.. And
take a motrin 800 with it.. It sounds like this pain is bad enough for the
percocet.. The varicose veins on the uterus are very apinful, i have afriend
who has them, and she say's they hurt bad.. But definately if your only
taking 1 vicoden, take 2 if it does'nt work, go ajhead and take the 3rd..
(take 1, and then after an hour it does'nt work, take another.. if 2 does'nt
help, take the 3rd. it wont hurt you, you definbately will not overdose.)
i've had extra strength alot of times, and have taken 3 at a time, and it
helps, especially if you add a motrin 800 mg.. i hope your feeling better..
Jan
p.s. when's the last time you had a lap done? it may be time for that, and
just try to get pg, right after surgery..
