I’ve still got no pain after 8 hours but I’ve just eaten my evening meal so I’m wondering whether to take it now as a precaution if the hospital dose is going to wear off?

And would you suggest me taking the 2 x Co-codomol 30mg/500mg at the same time?

Sorry to ask but the literature provided is a bit ambiguous and not easy for a lay person/thick fk like me to decipher?

One other thing, would you be suggesting I do all the exercise routines suggested for rehab straight away today or leaving it until tomorrow?

Cheers both, your wisdom is much appreciated?

Stay online all night, you might be needed!��
Diclo is for inflamation and pain relief but usually take them on a full stomac. Pain thresh hold is very differentl for each person. They are prescribed for you just in case. But if you are not in pain I would't bother for now. But as we say better to have them to be looking for them. They usually act within a half hour of been taken so keep by the bed side. But eat something first like a banana.
The other ones are for more severe pain...2 x Co-codomol 30mg/500mg....hopefully wou won't need them. You will know by tomorrow when the surgery drugs have worn off.
Wouldn't do anything till any lingering inflamation has gone down or away.
But quick mobility is the routine now. Expect some soreness for sure but nothing to impacting like running. Grass verges for now as they custion the impact.
But easy for starters Mick.

Now where did I put my mop.....
