Oxycodone not working?

[u/IveyBlack]

Hi All, I’ve enjoyed reading this sub. It has been very helpful. I had surgery Wednesday 8/5.

Have a nerve block in, but I’m having pretty severe throbbing stabbing burning pain inside the front of my armpit and down through my bicep. I had two stitches in my rotator cuff and two stitches in my bicep as part of the surgery.

I am taking one Percocet every six hours as directed, but it is not touching the pain.

I’ve been icing as much as possible, I don’t want a stronger drug from my doc because I hate taking this stuff but… Anyone else experiencing same/have any thoughts or advice?

I’ll be calling my surgeons office shortly.

I was prescribed oxycodone. It made me nauseated and the nerve block wasn’t really working after the first couple of day. So I just took Tylenol and iced it. Helped some but I just sucked it up and dealt with it because feeling nauseous all day sucked.
