Need Medicine For Pain After The Surgery.
hello, i had surgery for sever arthritis on my left thumb 3 days ago. the surgery went well. i was ordered percocet for post op pain. after taking 2 tabs the following day, i developed a flushed face and sever itching. i was then ordered norco. my problem is that facial flushing and itching have continued. i started taking benadryl 25mg. with every pain pill. this am my face and eyes were puffy. is there anything more that i can take for the pain. the pain is decreasing, but at night it really hurts. motrin upsets my stomach, and is containdicated because of a kidney issue about 3 yrs. ago.. my drs. nurse is blowing me off. what should i do?

Hi,
Tricky. You are ruling out the usual medicines. physical care such as icing, can be helpful without medicines. Topical Lidocaine can be done. I cannot say in your particular case, but generally.
Take care. Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.
