My doctor gave me a prescription for one pill, with instructions to take it one hour before the surgery, and have my wife drive me to and from his office. I really don't know what that pill was (I didn't pay any attention at the time,) but all I can tell you about it is that by the time we got to his office, I was at 30,000 feet and climbing. He could have used a set of bolt cutters and a propane torch for all I know, and I'd have probably helped him get it lit. I do know that I was in zero pain for that day, and only had a stinging sensation the next, so whatever it was - it worked.
