If your doctor prescribes medication for your pain, please take it as prescribed. Sometimes people stop taking their medications because they feel better, but the reason they were feeling better is they were taking their pain medication!
If you aren’t taking pain medications on a regular schedule, have pain medication available that you can take when you need it. If your dressing changes are painful, take your pain medicine about an hour before you are going to have your dressing changed so that it has a chance to get working. As your wound healing progresses, you may be able to reduce your pain medications.
Talk to your nurse about this.
Follow the instructions; don't take the medication more often than prescribed.
