November 8, 201312 yr Good luck, Justin. Hopefully the bar approach means a quicker recovery that the standard approach.
November 8, 201312 yr Good luck with the surgery, and hopefully you'll be back, good as new, before we know it!
November 9, 201312 yr Get some rest, hopefully the drugs help and be aware of the side effects of many high-level pain reducers.
November 9, 201312 yr be aware of the side effects of many high-level pain reducers. You mean a good time?
November 9, 201312 yr In the bed.. Got the rod Sent from my iPhone using TapatalkSteve is in town? Kidding of course. I hope that you feel pretty good tomorrow Edited November 9, 201312 yr by Dreadhead
November 9, 201312 yr You mean a good time? No, a really bad time if you don't take preventative measures. These include the intake of lots of fiber (including fiber supplements if necessary, prunes, lots of liquids, no juices, no caffeine, etc. Edited November 9, 201312 yr by guzziguy
November 9, 201312 yr No, a really bad time if you don't take preventative measures. These include the intake of lots of fiber (including fiber supplements if necessary, prunes, lots of liquids, no juices, no caffeine, etc. This. As soon as pain is reasonable, I'd cut opioids and would do with just tylenol and such. Sending good vibes your way, Justin. We'll have you around in no time Edited November 9, 201312 yr by Torpedo
November 9, 201312 yr This. As soon as pain is reasonable, I'd cut opioids and to with just tylenol and such. Sending good vibes your way, Justin. We'll have you around in no time This! Although I'd go with ibuprofen first. There is too much uncertain "grey area" on liver-damage coorelated cases coming to light now to really be certain what is going on with the acetaminophen's catabolism. They may or not be a true coorelation, but I am limiting the use of this drug until there is sufficient evidence, one way or another.

They may or not be a true coorelation, but I am limiting the use of this drug until there is sufficient evidence, one way or another. There's no evidence that at the right doses there's any liver damage on the long term, but for perhaps habitual consumers hitting limit doses daily for years. However any NSAI inhibiting platelets aggregation, IMHO isn't a great idea after a surgery. Not what I'd take, but many orthopedic and traumatology surgeons prescribe them, so again, what do I know

Not what I'd take, but many orthopedic and traumatology surgeons prescribe them, so again, what do I know I agree with the lack of evidence at the right doses, but the range of limit dose vs toxic lower limits seems narrower compared to other choices. So why risk it... . I guess, the worrying part, at least for me at this point, is the uncertainty between the risk of long term use (i.e. the go to med for kid's fever, etc). and the low margin of "taking a bit too much" to supposedly cause liver damage. Anyway
November 9, 201312 yr With kids playing safe isn't a bad idea, ibuprofen is usually the election drug, but after surgeries, like tonsillectomy, paracetamol is preferred. All things accounted, IMO it's safer for your liver a daily those of 3 grs (1gr/8h) of paracetamol than 40 grs of alcohol, specially for women. However we're not speaking of needing painkillers on a daily basis for life, but just using something for a while which isn't as "dangerous" as opioids, yet effective if the pain isn't great.

November 12, 201312 yr 3 days after surgery my pain level is down to a 1 of 10 on the hospital scale. all i really feel now is some itching where the incisions probably are. cant see them because its all covered in gauze. go back on thursday to get that taken off i think
November 12, 201312 yr Awesome news Justin. I hope that the bone is joining well etc and you're back up to full speed soon.
November 12, 201312 yr Excellent news Justin! How is your energy level? back to normal the day after surgery. the nausea only lasted about 6 hrs. when i go thursday im going at ask if i can at least do some kind of exercise, like legs only, or right arm, cause im already losing weight Edited November 12, 201312 yr by justin
November 12, 201312 yr Fantastic news, Justin! I'd avoid any exercise that may put in risk the surgery, I mean falling off or receiving an impact on the clavicle. Too much sweat isn't good either until the stitches are removed. You'll be fine soon.
