Mind over matter- can it be done?

Norco w/d. Once mentally and physically heeled, is it possible to take med, maybe different type- as prescribed . When needed for extreme pain, if someone holds and gives to u as prescribed? For real pain? Or is OTC better, although doesn't work...?

Exactly my question. I have another surgery in 3 months. What to do......?

I have wondered that question also. I am going to take this comment a little bit further.  What do or would a person do after being clean for say a year, and you find out you need some kind of surger, and you have to take some pain meds after the surgery, what happens then?
