    Good luck and it seems like you are doing the right thing by talking to your doctor. My experience is that I had a very severe shoulder injury from a hit and run 3 years ago, I told my doctor about my alcoholism history and my concern about taking pain killers. He replied...with your injury you are not going to make thru post surgery if you don’t take a pain killer. He monitored me thru reducing the dose to zero in 3 mos.

    Jen, I had my Uterus removed without incision. I only required Bayer Aspirin afterward.

    Also, they might give you Demerol for pain. That's a step down from Morphine.

    They gave me that after both of my children were born.

    My dad had bad reactions to Morphine so I can imagine what you mean.

    I had a big incision from my Appendix.

    I got Demerol shots in the hospital, I think; and went home with prescription of Lortab for that pain.

    That's hard to get use to. It took forever for me to get over wanting to call my mom when important things happened. It's normal.
