Hey hun we all different, I was lucky and really didn’t have that much pain, just swelling and the really uncomfortable excessive tightness… You can get yourself some solapadeine max from the chemist over the counter, they actually have more codeine in them than the ones you got on discharge.. also you can alternate ibuprofen with them.. so every 3 hrs alternate in taking them, this can help .. try not to do this too long, but might be helpful over next few days.. hope this helps and you feel better soon…xxxx
