Allergic to oxycontin, but not hydrocodone; however, I don't enjoy the drugged up affect. I find I can endue the entire day until about 7 PM then the heal begins to throb and my choice is to either take hydrocodone or not eat due to associated nausea.
At what time interval from your surgery were you able to take a shower? Very important time point for me presently.
