I was on 2 x endone every 4 hours and voltaren for I think my entire stay (discharged on day 6), we tried to cut it down to one and that was a nightmare I could hardly move! I was also on voltaren. The midwives kept saying that I shouldn't need all that but I could feel it wearing off and it was so painful to move once it started to wear off. When I left I had a script for a couple of days on digesics and voltaran for about a week...After about day 8 or 9 I didn't really need anything.
I think maybe cause I had an emergency c-section, maybe they have to be a bit 'rougher?'...if you need it then take it and it will help you heal quicker!
Congrats on your little one x
