Dr. Johnson:
So the pain medicine that your doctor gives you, do not feel that you need to take the 80 that’s on your prescription. I think in the first 48 to 72 hours, I think it is important to make sure you take the medicine like it’s prescribed, but after that, it’s as needed. So every patient is different, and you take kind of what you need.
