Dear Doctor, Third Day Home From L2-5 Decompression Surgery Including

Dear Doctor, Third day home from L2-5 Decompression Surgery including a Laminectomy. Foraminotomy
and Facetectomy at each level. I hurt and can't move without a shooting burning pain. I want to walk
and move around so I can start the healing process but it's almost impossible. Taking Oxycodone-Acetamin-
ophen 10-325 for pain. Is there something stronger I can take for a day or two so I won't have complications in the recovery? I don't understand the reasoning behind this when I told my Doctor to be aggressive in my
pain relief since I've had 2 discectomies and recovered perfectly and quickly from the same good surgeon.
Thank you, Michele Grimm
