I recently got my wisdom teeth out and have been on painkillers. I want to ski on Saturday but I'm probably still going to be on the painkillers. My surgeon said I should but I want some better advice. Do you think I can do it? Should I do it? Park without pain sound sick.

You want a ski forum to give you better advice than your surgeon about what you should and shouldn't do post surgery? That makes all the sense.

IMO you should be fine if you take it easy.

You should be fine, just take it slow. As long as your motor skills feel relatively normal than you're good to cruise and slide some rails.

This is going to sound absolutely terrible, but I like it. For me It loosens me up, puts some spring in my knees, and allows me to get up way faster than I would normally.

There are also downsides if you take more than the recommended amount. You feel invincible. You may think to yourself "But Greg, that sounds like the bee's knees!" but it isn't, You don't realize how much stress you put on your body till after, or even the next day. Also you get super on edge and agitated when you are coming down.

I have before and Been into it, but the constipation afterwards and feeling like "You can ski better with them" really ruins it for me. I wouldn't recommend it since it may just amp you too much and then cause pain later down the line.

When did you get yours out? I had mine out 6 days ago and I think Im gunna ski saturday. Just as long as you don't dislodge the blood clots you should be ok, and the drugs don't affect the way you think.
