[QUOTE="GoingNorth, post: 698540, member: 1963"] That's downright cruel. Can you call his doctor and ask for something for pain? Kids bounce back a LOT quicker from abdominal and other surgery than we older folks do. Is he able to stand up straight yet? I was taking 10mg Vicodin 3x daily for about 2 weeks, then cut down to 2x daily for a week, then 1/2 2x daily and so on. But, I'm a lightweight when it comes to narcotics, so someone else might've needed more. The only problem I can see is that the pain medications will DRASTICALLY exacerbate the constipation and that may be why they weren't prescribed. Our new surgeon general sent personal letters to each and every physician out there asking them to "sign the pledge" regarding opiates, and as a result a lot of doctors just won't prescribe them. When he goes back to school, he should be excused from gym initially if it is contact or high impact sports and he should start back on half days for a couple of weeks. [/QUOTE]
