Thanks so much. I had an appointment with PA last Friday and she said I was being too aggressive trying to get off the oxycodone. I added back a second and third oxy as needed. Two prunes with each oxy seems to be working to prevent constipation. I was using 5mg THC for sleep before the surgery. It’s not enough now but I plan to return to that aid when I’m off the narcotic.

I’m glad your PA suggested you were being too aggressive trying to get off oxycodone. We all experience pain differently and doing what’s best for our own recovery is the most important thing for recovery! Good for the prunes, anything that gets us moving!
