Yes I have had leg surgery and a c/s while in recovery and you tell them NO and don't take the scripts home and absolutely do not get them filled!! There are alternatives..non narcotic..sometimes you just need to find a diff DR. or reevaluate and see how much pain you are in and why is he trying to give you something like methadone?
