A doctor has provided 1 answer
Depends: The answers rests in what your body can handle. If your health and medications you are on permit, it is always better to use blocks and other non narcotic (morphine) options. Always follow the advice of your pain specialist. It can be hard to do because pills seem easier but pills can be dangerous in long run.
