Suggest Treatment For A Sore Foot Post Surgery
Hi, I had surgery on my hammertoe and torn ligaments earlier today. My pain med is hydrocondon/acetaminophen 5-325. My foot is very sore and I would like to know how much of this s prescription can I safely take. It says 1 to 2 every 4 to 6 hrs. Still very sore. Could I take more now for pain control?

Hello,
Thank you for using Healthcaremagic.
I read your question and understood your concern.
You should not take more then that.
You can elevate the leg above the heart level and ice it which will diminish the postoperative swelling.
Wish you quick recovery.
