Usually narcotics: But non-narcotic IV medications can be use, like toradol or IV acetaminophen. On discharge, usually oral narcotic pain medications are given.

Narcotics plus: Usually several narcotics are used as the patient moves through the various postoperative phases. These can be supplemented with non-narcotic analgesics for excellent pain control. Hope this helps.
