Talk to your doctor about pain control. It sounds like you need the operation, so don't back out. I had mine out when I was 20. I am not going to lie to you, it is very painful. I would suggest that they keep you overnight for pain control, and for any nausea you may experience. Also, make sure you get a liquid pain med. I took demerol, and I believe you need something that strong. I have heard of people doing it with liquid Lortab, which is much weaker. I would not have it done with Lortab. Talk with your doctor about your concerns, and make sure they will work with you. I wish you all the best!

Dont worry about the pain - modern analgesics can deal with it.

for postoperative pain, NSAID's provide very good releif, especialy when combined with an opoid (ie, ibuprofen +/- Vicodin, Lortab, tylenol with Codeine)

Make sure to have some Benzocaine lozonges on hand!

Whatever has worked well for you before. I always ask for Lortab as that works best for me. Also, be sure to get the numbing gel type gargle. It helped mroe than the pills.
