Suggest Medication For Severe Pain After A Surgery

Having surgery tomorrow on left hand. Had right hand done on June 12th. Was given Hydrocodone for pain, but I am allergic to codine. It was really bad. When doing my pre-top clearance with my primary a few days ago, asked her what else could be rx d......I can t remember what name of drug was to ask for tomorrow. And of course it s Sunday evening. It started with the letter D ......any ideas? My pain was excruciating for the first 3-4 days, then I was able to manage with tylanol there after.
