heya,
i had very little pain from surgery, if that makes you feel any better. i took the pain meds, but i don't think i needed them - was just scared not to take them. BUT, i never, even if i went long in between, felt any severe pain. i am told i am unusual in that regard. anyway, just tell this to the doctor; say you are worried about not getting them, see what they say
