Journavx vs. typical opiate pain relief postoperatively?
I will be having surgery on my right hip in about a month. For my first hip scope on my left I was prescribed norco and while I really hated the way this made me feel, it did work well for my pain control. I will be prescribed Journavx instead for this upcoming scope due to my surgeon’s changed protocol and I don’t see many people’s experiences with this medication postoperatively on this sub.
For those that have had experiences with both medications: do you feel Journavx worked for you compared to norco? I have a low pain tolerance and I’m worried about being in a lot of pain postoperatively.
