Type of pain killers prescribed for post operative pain relating to inguinal hernia repair?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Varies: Usually a narcotic pain pill such as Percocet or vicoden is prescribed after inguinal hernia repair. I like to add Ibuprofen as well, it seems to decrease the amount of narcotic needed to control pain in the first week after herniorraphy.
