Yes, call! don't be in pain! I was worried asking for meds because I didn't want the doc to thing I had become an addict. She looked at me like I was crazy for waiting to ask. don't miss a dose, it's not worth the pain!

Oh goodness, don't be a hero! Take whatever you need to get through. I was on Vicodin and 600mgs of Ibuprofen for a week straight, then went down to just Ibuprofen. You just had major surgery...take care of yourself!

Call the doctor, but I actually found more relief with Motrin than Percocet. So you may be able to step down to that.

Def call your doctor. No need to be in unnecessary pain. I was on ibuprofen 800 and didn't have to take as much since it was strong.
Hope you feel better

Same here. Motrin was a food group for awhile.

Call and don't be ashamed to do so. I found though that Motrin worked better than Percocet and I was on Motrin for a while.
