Of course, they are so very worried that I will become addicted to real pain medication that they sparingly dole them out. I have multiple issues that have a domino effect when something requires attention out of balance with the rest of the issues. When I had the quad bypass, for example, the main issue with recovery was my back, which was in agony from laying around for six days. They barely gave me enough to cope with it. It really sucked.
