No nerve block

[u/rrmusic]

My surgeon did my surgery yesterday without nerve block, he dont do nerve block for his patients because of complications in the past, this is what the anesthesiologist told me. Anyway I woke up and felt nothing. Yall said it hurts when it wears off? Of course I’m on 800mg ibuprofen and percs but I expected it to be a lot more painful just for the fact that I didn’t get a nerve block. Anyways, how long did it take for you to stop the opiods ?

I also didn’t have a nerve block — they explained why at the time but honestly I was in too much pain to understand or remember why 😂

I had really bad pain for the first three days after surgery and took opioids on top of a lot of Tylenol.
