My experience with pain meds when i had kidney stones a few years back had me feeling like a basketball star in a titty bar. everything you could possibly want was being offered to you.

And frankly i appreciated it greatly! but for home i opted to only get the 600mg ibuprofen. some of those meds like diloded (sp?) are so darned pleasant to experience i didn't dare get the home version.

i do take pride in my ability to suffer without meds. although the last time i did that in a docs office they had to get the smelling salts out for me. i found the answer to the question "How much could a simple cyst on the back hurt to cut out?" is "enough to make you pass out".
