Tonsillectomy pain relief!

Hi all

New to this forum and had a tonsillectomy yesterday after years of waiting!

On the downside, I was sent away yesterday with run of the mill paracetomal and ibuprofen Calpol for kids! After hearing them say all day what a painful procedure it is 🤔 I'd say I have a fairly high pain threshold but if I can avoid suffering I will!

I asked before I left and the nurse said it was too late to get anything prescribed and i would have to go to my gp.

Has anyone any adult experiences in the uk could give me any advice on this or their own experiences. Online it appears, particularly in america that stronger pain relief is regularly prescribed and recommended.

Cheers guys

Bex
