Pain meds are not a requirement of the surgery. You would most likely prefer some but it surely is not a requirement. Many people forego pain meds for a variety of reasons. There are also pain meds you would be allowed to take such as acetominiphin or ibuprofen. Obviously not as strong as oxy but they will usually afford some relief. There are other pain meds that are available and acceptable under your situstion. That means, ultimately, the delay is not based on the penalty imposed but your desire to not undergo the surgery without oxycodone. I Suggest you speak with the doctor and the court to determine what pain relievers are legal for you to use and consulting with the Doctor to determine what you do have available.
