I'm sure it would be different with a major injury, but I didn't want to take any chances on mine, so I opted for the discomfort instead.

That's too bad. You didn't have to do that. Most news stories are designed to scare you and this whole 'opioid addiction epidemic' is part and parcel of that. I have had my appendix and my gall bladder removed. I took the pain meds until I really didn't hurt anymore. That was about 10-14 days.
