hi...
i'm having a tonsillectomy next month. i'm 29 years old, so i realize it's going to be a little uncomfortable (based on statistics i've read). one of my biggest concerns is that i'm allergic to acetaminophen and can't take lortab, b/c it contains acetaminophen. i'm scared, b/c i've read this is the most common pain medicine given for post-op pain and OTC pain meds just won't do for the pain control.
is this true, or are there others to choose from? i'm really scared about the pain... i'm a really big baby and have never had surgery or even any broken bones. PLEASE! any words of encouragement would be most helpful. :-)
