Hi.

I had rib resection in August of 05. I was on a morphine pump while in the hospital. When I was discharged I was on percocet routinely every 4 hours. I'm sorry I don't remember the mg.

Yes, I would absolutely talk with the hospital about what their protocol is for pain control. There's no excuse to be where they have access to medicines to make you comfortable - to be in pain. Especially after a major surgery such as this. They should know better...

Good luck in the future and I hope your recovery goes smoothly.
