My Son Had A Plate Removed From His Shoulder In
My son had a plate removed from his shoulder in an outpatient procedure that was put in after an accident 4 years ago in. He was sent home with a prescription for 90 Ibuprofen 600mg and 60 Norco.
I am not concerned that he might abuse these meds, but I wonder why so much pain medication was prescribed, especially in light of the opiate crisis in this country.
I that an appropriate amount of pain meds in this case?
