Can I Take Marijuana After Stone Removal From Gall Bladder?
hey i just had a sugery to remove my galbladder after they found small stones in it. I was prescribed tylenol 3 to ease the pain but the pain is still a bit strong at the moment. My sugery was 10 hours ago. would taking marijana be more of a con than pro at this time to help ease the pain?

Hi and welcome to HCM. Thanks for the query.
Marihuana is not justified as analgesia method so from out point you should not take it especially not so early after surgery. it may have very bad effect on your digestion and may interact with anasthetics that were given during surgery. So if you need more analgesia consult your doctors about it and take some of the regular painkillers
WIsh you good health. Regards
