My wife is currently fairly medicated up. She had an injection that numbed all the nerves on her left side around her shoulder so she can't feel anything at all around there. Even worse she can't move parts of her left side including that entire arm. Fortunately her arm is an a fairly complicated sling to keep it in place not to mention to stop it from flopping around and hurting her shoulder.
What other effects these medications have though I have no idea. Some of my wife's drugs have had some pretty iffy side effects over the years including causing further problems which required medication. We really need to find more drugs that do something without having so many other effects on you that sometimes you end up worse than before you started taking the drug.
Still I wouldn't want my wife to be without the drug she is currently using. I suspect that when it wears off later today she will be using her painkillers as often as she can. We shall see how effective they are on her since in general they don't have much effect (go look up redheads and pain and the recent research on it). I want her to not have to suffer through as much pain as she did before with her other surgeries since she doesn't deserve pain.
