What's with doctors and pain meds, or lack or them?

After I had my son, they only gave me some Tyelnol. The best way to decrease the pain is just to get up. I literally looked so dumb walking to the bathroom and it took me like 5 min to get up out of bed, and 5 min to get back into bed. But the more you move around the sooner you will heal. I say, call your mom or someone who is going to be coming to visit you. Have them either run to the store, or from home, get some Tylenol. If you take a few tablets, you will be fine. I took 3 regular tablets when I went home, opted out of a script. I was sore yes, but it helped, that and getting up. Good luck and congrats!
