Has anyone had surgery not related to the spine? How was your pain control handled during your recovery?

Left knee meniscectomy 12/21/2022 here. My surgeon deferred my pain mgmt to my regular pain mgmt practice. They gave me a week's worth of a higher dose of opioid than I regularly take, but then kind of threw me under the bus! Since it was the holiday season and they were off, I couldn't get a message to them, so by the time I got through it was supposedly "too late" for them to send in another higher-dose rx, grr. I just started my post-op PT and I can barely stand the pain in my knee!!

I had gall bladder surgery. I was in lot of pain because I moved 2 days before surgery. Actually moved out and left abusive husband. I had a truck parked with all my stuff. I had the surgery on 08/30/2019 and on 08/31/2019, movers came in to unload parked truck into storage. Then I had to drive the truck to return at the location. I had a minor 13 years old son with me only. My gallbladder surgery recovery became little tough. Well glad all that is passed now, don't have to think about it anymore. I don't know how all that was done. I believe that there was someone else's strength God gave me that I did all that
