Can Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen Be Taken Post A Surgery?
I had surgery to repair a fractured calcaneous bone. I was given Ketorolac 10 mg after surgery taken every 4 hours for pain which isn t helping. Can I also take the Hydrocodone/acetaminophen that I was taking before the surgery? I don t want to take if they are not to be taken together.
