When I was released I was on 500 mg acetaminophen, 2 capsules by mouth every 6 hours as needed for pain. For acute pain - (18 tablets) Oxycodone, 5 mg, every 4 hours as needed for severe pain (7-10 of 10). For moderate pain - (18 tablets) Tramadol, 50 mg, every 6 hours as needed for moderate pain (4-6 of 10). I would take an Oxycodone and then 4 hours later, a Tramadol tablet, and 4 hours after that, 2 Tylenol. Depending on my pain level, my next pill might only be the Tramadol or Tylenol. I dosed based on the level on pain I was feeling. I was able to wean off the Oxycodone and Tramadol after the first week. One half hour before PT or other exercise, I always took a Tylenol. After 3 months I was able to resume taking my Celebrex. I use Celebrex for pain relief rather than Tylenol. Tylenol doesn't help with the inflammation I deal with. I already have two anti-gravity chair. I will have to try using one.
