Well, I'm in misery bigtime, As of now I have Loritab/elixar(generic) and Tylenol/codeine, which onlys works for about a 1/2 hour. When I went for my follow up,after 4 days, the doctor said if things really get bad, call the on-call docotor and ask for Roxicet, I did last night and the doctor said that was a level 3 pain killer and could not be prescribed over the phoneand that I would have to go to an emergency room to get someone to prescribe it, and that my doctor should have known that, but he did give me "lidocaine viscous" which is a gel like substance that if I could get it to the back of my throat somehow, the would numb the pain, put it is so difficult to get it back there,anyone know an easy way? This sucks, I might ask for a new doctor. What a great way to spend memorial weekend, I would never do this again, and just SNORE!! Alos my doctor did not use a laser to trim the softpalate and uvala, he must have used a dull knife.
