I am taking 30 mgs of hydrocodone/daily. I am going to an oral surgeon in the morning to have 8 teeth cut out (two are wisdom). I also take Ativan, (surgeon knows of this). Surgeon said not to take my Ativan the morning of my surgery and I can't have anything to eat or drink after midnight. I am terrified that my long term use of the hydro will pose a serious risk. Will I be okay? Please help!

Hi Deborrah,

Sorry to hear about your shoulder. I realize that your surgery may have already taken place seeing as it's now the 27th of Feb. Did you manage to find anything to use for the pain since you last posted?

Personally, I think it's imperative to discuss potential treatment options with the surgeon and/or anesthesiologist in order to play it safe; since whatever they administer during the operation could interact with whatever it is you may be taking.

I know if it were me in this position, I'd probably turn to medical cannabis and/or kratom for relief, but I cannot say what will or wont work for you and your unique individual level of pain.

Best wishes to you for a smooth recovery!
