Avelox (moxifloxacin) as an antibiotic (5 pills x once per day)
Tramacet (Tramadol + Tylenol) as a pain killer (30 pills total)
I didn't get much of anything. The pain killers helped, but they weren't all that strong. The antibiotics were a necessity haha

1st BA-
Lortab for pain
Antibiotic (I don't remember what, maybe Keflex)
Phenergan- anti-nausea
2nd BA-
Emend (anti-nausea) right before surgery, not prescribed but given before surgery. I had the option to decline.
Phenergan or Zofran- Anti-nausea. I don't remember which.
Vicodin- pain medicine
Percocet- pain medicine. I paid to stay over night in the hospital the first night. I was prescribed percocet for that night.
Flexeril- muscle relaxer
Also purchased arnica at my preop appointment.
First BA I wished for a muscle relaxer. Second BA I was so incredibly glad for the muscle relaxer and the pain medicine.

1) Prochlorperazine 10mg (anti-nausea)
2) Cyclobenzaprine 10mg (muscle relaxer)
3) Cephalexin 250mg (anti-biotic)
4) Hydrocodon-Acetaminoph (pain)

I only took the anti-biotics and one Senekot pill when I got home. No need for pain meds, muscle relaxers, or anti-nausea med. Easiest recovery ever! ; ))))

Vicodin for pain. Took one day of surgery and 3 next day then switched to Ex-Tylenol.
Valium for muscle soreness/relaxation. Used day after surgery, then quit.
An antibiotic - not sure which one. I took all of those.
I was lucky to have little pain, just tightness. I was able to ice, and did that frequently.

Yikes you ladies were loaded!!
I only had Oxy's (can't remember full name sorry!) for the first 5 days then Panadein Forte for 2 weeks after. Took the whole lot of them and had normal ibuprofen as a back up.

Flexiril as my muscle relaxer which was my savior. Only drawback was it made me EXTREMELY irritable. I got vicodin but hardly used it. I actually saved most of my supply for recreational use. Lmao! And also Zofran for nausea.

Valium (didn't take any)
Tramodol 50 mg (took 3-4 of them, made me sick to my stomach each time)
Keflex 500 mg antibiotic (took all of them)
Zofran for nausea (didn't take any)
I rather deal with the pain then feeling the nausea that pain meds gave me...lol
