I'm seeing a lot more tylenol/NSAID management for post operative patients (c-sections, hernias, hysterectomies, etc). However we always give narcs for breakthrough. The cancer patients are the exception, particularly the stage 4 ones. They still get non narcotic pain alternatives but that's in combination with narcs.
I agree. I was shocked. Its hard as his wife to watch him suffer. The man never complains, and if he says in hurts, it hurts.
