Seriously try CBD oil. After surgery I could only stand the opiates for 3 wks and still had some heavy pain.
Aspirin and CBD oil got me through it. oh and btw, in my state, we have legal marijuana so some of the CBD oil has some THC in it like 1 to 5%. I tried both the pure CBD and one that had 1% THC. The pure was much better than the blend. It had some other tasty thing in it but not worth it to me.
Best of luck.
