How long after surgery should pain last? Its abdominal surgery, 4th this year, open and approx 8" in length. This time was 2 hernia removals and replacement of intestines as they were sitting in wrong place on upper abdominal wall is what i was told, flipped? My surgeon gave me a weeks worth of pills but im still hurting. Is it okay to ask for more pain pills or should i tough it out? I'm 10 days post op.

There is a lot of variability regarding post surgical pain. Unfortunately, it is not really clear what you had done. If you think the pain is excessive, make sure your doctor knows. And especially if you have nausea, voniting, or fever you should tell your surgeon immediately.
