I am having knee surgery (ACL ) and I am worried about taking pain meds. I took Vicodin for 3 days once for sciatica, and when I stopped, I had the shakes and threw up for 6 hours. I realize it may be coincidence but I am concerned nonetheless. Should I ask my surgeon for something different?
I have flat feet, which results in back/foot/leg pain and fatigue after standing still for long periods of time. I do have orthotic inserts for my shoes, but that doesn’t stop the pain.
What kind of medication could I talk to my doctor about regarding such an issue? Something that can relieve or possibly numb the pain but keep me coherent during extended periods of standing still? (like orthodox church services for example, which can last as long as 6 hours during the week of easter)
