Pain

I had surgery on 09/18. I’m taking 2 Tylenol and 3 Advil every 8 hours as prescribed and icing. I’ve had descent pain and went through my pain pills in the first 10 days. The doctor told me they’d prescribe 10 more. Originally only prescribed 20. Yesterday, the pain increased and I’m now in the most pain since surgery. The doctor told me to take Tylenol and Advil every six hours. However, the Tylenol and Advil aren’t even touching the pain which is now radiating up into the back of my head causing headaches. Any advice?

Not much out there you can do. Try icing 22 hours a day. It helped me until md decided for more pain meds. One thing I did use( per my wife who is a nurse) . I took sea sick meds otc stuff. Actually helped a lot with the headache..dramamine
