One thinks you have never had a really damaging surgery. For obstructive sleep apnea I had the back of my tongue microwaved, my deviated septum repaired, and my uvula and back of throat removed. Ibuprofen and Tylenol would not have been sufficient for recovery from that. And that is even nothing compared to other more damaging surgeries.
- bonzini 2y agoThe article I linked explains that you can still get opioids during recovery in the hospital in other countries, it's only once you're discharged that they're a lot more careful. There must be something intermediate between "Tylenol and ibuprofen for everything" and "Vicodin before and after canal therapy".
