Hi Babs99. There are many factors to consider when administering narcotics for pain control. Pain tolerance, perception of pain, side effects, level of activity after surgery, history of pain control / management, etc. An acceptable dose and frequency of meperidine would be determined by your surgeon. Please let your nurse and./ or surgeon know if what is ordered is not effective.
