should I be....

taking Vicodin while at work??

if anyone was wondering my wisdom tooth removal went very well. they where only suppose to pull one but when i was in the chair the surgeon said that my bottom tooth wasn't looking too good so i had to sign to let him pull both. the surgery wasn't bad at all. i was knocked out & it lasted all of i think 20 minutes. however, i am still in pain. i have been taking Vicodin every 4 hours (as directed) but still in pain. i am at work today & hopefully will be able to get threw this day.

Glad to hear it went well. I think the situation warrants a vicodin at work. You should've just called in sick today girl!

I think you're fine to take it at work (as long as you're not operating heavy machinery )

Glad your surgery went well!

lol! I did when I had my wisdom teeth taken out!
Glad that everything went well! - when I had it done, it felt like I was shot in the face, I actually had a dream that I got shot in the face - and I woke up with so much pain the first night

Vicodin makes me pass out so I would have just called out today.

Honestly, if you're still in pain and the Vicodin isn't helping, I would call the surgeon's office and see what else they recommend.

Are you going for a follow up?

And have you tried taking Motrin as one dose instead of the Vicodin? That might help a little more.

Sorry you're not feeling great If you can stay not loopy on the Vicodin at work, then I don't see a problem taking it, but be careful if you're driving.
