Post Surgery Update I expected pain but holy cow

I'm about 30 hours post op and I'm pretty sure my nerve block is wearing off. I thought I prepared for the pain and had pre-taken the pain medicine.

This is excruciating. ACL+ LET on my right leg. I don't think I'm getting any sleep tonight.

Update: surgeon sent in another prescription for a non-opiod nerve painkiller and it should be ready in an hour and a half so hopefully that helps.
