I am so glad that you are getting good information both here and from your doctor.

I don't think you made a mistake, and I know you are strong enough to get through this.

Are you able to sleep on your side yet? I hear with some surgeons it takes a month or two before you're able to.
Had nullification surgery by Marc Arnkoff on August 10th, 2017 at 24 which was the catalyst for me finally admitting I am trans and to start estrogen. Wish I saw this sooner but that's life. I have detailed documents on these surgeries and pictures so feel free to ask.

HRT: December 16. 2017
Adams apple surgery by Dr Haben: March 20, 2016
Nullification surgery by Dr Marc Arnkoff: August 10, 2017

Again at 5am... I woke up really sore... took another strong painkiller so I can go back to sleep... this happens almost every night... I'm thinking it's because the last ibuprofen I take is just before I do my last dilation... I'm 29 days post op now... I thought the pain would ease up a bit... I'm really getting tired of this...

Other than that... dilation is ok... I'm staying in the right depth... lastbdot is just at the entrance of the lips.... the granulation doesn't seem to be growing or it's not becoming hypergranulation... and there is some granulation where the hood/minora... oh and the hood/minora started bleeding a bit and it got really sensitive...

Doctor said that granulation  is good and it's part of the healing process... it appears that there is no hypergranulation... they said to keep doing my routine until the wound heals :)

That is no good...do you add normal Panadol to your pain medication regime, it will boost the efficiency of most pain meds by up to 40%

Over the counter pain relief...you may have a different name paracetamol is the drug. It is a mild pain reliever but when combined with heavier drugs it increases their efficiency. Years of pain management experience have taught me th8is along with plenty of supporting medical evidence. So try you local chemist for some good old paracetamol.

It is just Tylenol. In other part of the world it is called panadol

Very common practice now in many Hospitals here and standard practice in any Pain Management situations to give this along with heavier narcotic type meds to improve there efficiency. Panadol doesn't make the drugs work any more than prescribed just makes them work better thereby giving better pain control.

In the United States, we are often given drugs like codeine and tylenol premixed as a prescription so taking tylenol separately isn't normally done.

As far as I can remember we were given extra strength tylenol and some other meds (antibiotics etc) at the recovery house. I wasn't on heavy pain meds and Tylenol was just enough for me.

We have the milder pain meds also with the codeine paracetamol/Tylenol mix we buy over the counter at our pharmacy...With these milder pain meds that have Tylenol/paracetamol codeine mixed you certainly wouldn't take more of the same.  ;)

Those who have been given the instructions by there Dr will know what I mean...
