Hello, I had an open fracture of my tibia and fibula operated and pinned on Saturday and was discharged home yesterday. I’m struggling to keep on top of the pain. I’ve been given codeine 30mg and told to take 1-2 every 4-6 hours. In hospital I was getting Oramorph also and I’m sure paracetamol was given alongside the codeine.
It’s not severe pain but it’s almost all consuming as I’m unable to do much to distract myself from it. Is. there anything I can take alongside the codeine? I can’t get myself to a pharmacy to speak to anyone in person and don’t want to trouble the ward as they were rather busy.
