"i am a nurse and had a hysterectomy as well as ap repair.  i received duramorph and 48 hours later am relatively pain free. i have taken only 5 pain pills since the surgery. i came home within 14 hours of surgery. i am going to write a letter to my physician and anesthesiologist to recommend it to their patients but i do believe that your frame of mind going into any surgery will govern your outcome but thanks for duramorph. my pain was less than 2 the whole time."
