So, whose gone under Anesthesia?

[NJ346]

I'm getting knee surgery tomorrow morning and will be getting a dose of anesthesia, so how long will I feel high? lol

[Anti_Rice_Guy]

Not long. I lasted like 10 seconds before it knocked me out, I woke up in the recovery room across the hallway, and talked like a retard for a few minutes, then was fine. They just don't allow you to drive.

i cant even remember how many times ive gotten it... its not too bad... pretty much what he said... now the pain killers are a different story... after my rotator cuff surgery i was a vegetable for like 2-3 weeks couldnt move frmo the recliner and was just in and out of consciousness for a few weeks lol

youll be groggy when its done but nothing to constitute a high. wait for the painkillers. then you can get all messed up. just dont drive and watch those percocets. i know plenty of people addicted to them

Pretty much what everyone else said. But really, it all depends on what you get. For my arm surgery, I didnt receive the traditional anesthesia. They put me to sleep and did a complete nerve block on my right arm. So basically, I was taking a nap while they reattached tendons, all while my arm was numb. That was a completely different reaction then when I had my tonsils removed (when I went under normal anesthesia), because after my arm surgery, I couldnt even stand straight for 3 or 4 days, which could have been the morphene as well... ****, after the surgery, they give you a morphene clicker that gives you an injection once every 5 or 6 minutes.... I was like pressing that clicker like Ken Jennings on Jeporardy :rofl:

no high. watch the pain killers. drink plenty of fluids (the pain killers have a way of blocking things up.)

:werd:

That's why I refuse to take pain killers....I remember when I was in high school I had reconstruction surgery on my feet(damn muscular dystrophy) and they had me on morphine and Valium...I was in the hospital for 5 days...I think I remember 2hrs lol.

They gave me all kinds of prescriptions to take home with me for pain(percs, Valium etc), didn't take a single dose. Even when I had to get a few staph out breaks taken care of(getting abscesses opened up sucks) they gave me percs, I still have the bottle sitting here.

WAAAAAAAY too easy to get hooked on them and since it's prescribed by the doctor it's easy to think you're not doing anything wrong.

I have, but I don't remember, I was about 7.

Well I just got back from the hospital. Everything went fine. When I woke up I just kinda felt tired and the knee hurt a little bit. They gave me some Vikadine(sp?) about 3 hours ago and the knee feels a little sore. They told me that I can put weight on it as long as I can tolerate it...needless to say I wanted to walk out of the hospital on crutches but they wouldn't let me because it's protocol for me to go out in a wheelchair. I was just walking around walmart for 30 minutes pushing a carriage without a problem. Just if I'm on my feet too long I can tell it starts to swell and the pain gets a little greater. I was prescribed percocet, but will try not to take them since every1 says they are addicting. Anyway, I'll probably end up outside in a little while putting speakers in the DD, no little knee surgery is gonna slow me down :). My parents are already yelling at me for trying to do too many things, but the doctor said as long as I can handle the pain and not bend the knee too far that I'll be fine.

theyre not addicting... i used to eat them like skittles after all my surgeries and im fine

Yea, I'm not too worried now. Plus, it's not like I can just go out and buy these(I'm sure you could if you knew the right person). Anyway, I found out that I was prescribed Vycadine so I just took one about an hour ago. I feel a little lightheaded but that's about it, no pain. I'm going to take this as little as possible because I would like to drive. When I wake up in the morning that'll tell me the true pain I have, because right now I feel good. :mrgreen:

: they gave me percs, I still have the bottle sitting here.


WTF.. You didn't tell me? Percs + beer = good times... :D :drool: :D

[Squirrel]

[98tadriver]

[miketa95]

When I broke my leg they knocked me out. I just remember waking up with this big black nurse standing over me and I was like WTF.
