I had mine out in my late 20's. It really felt bad the first two days after and I was taking that liquid pain medicine all the time. Dont rush back to eating crunchy/hard foods too soon. Over a week after my surgery I was craving bacon. It felt like broken glass going down.

Who are you seeing JOAT? If Dr. Reiff sent you then it is probably the same guy I had a consultation with last year and is supposed to be the best around (forget his name). I was supposed to have the same surgery as well some bridges put in the back of my throat. Guy was up front and said it would be the worst few days of my life because of the pain and if I could find him, I would most likely try to kill him. 2 week recovery time. Said if I was a kid it would be no big deal but as adults it hurts like a mutha fugger. Guess the bridges inserted in the back of my throat would have something to do with that also though. Glad he was honest with me because I pussed out.

Good Luck...let me know how it turns out.

It was a referral from Dr. Reiff an I'm seeing Dr. Langford who's office I've been going to since I was about ten. Dr. Chikes, recently retired, did three ear surgeries on me in my teens.

What bothers me is this, I went to Dr. Langford about a year ago and asked about this same surgery and he said he didn't think it would make any sense or much of a difference. Now, because I was referred by a Dr all the sudden it makes sense? Nothing has happened in the last year, I seriously doubt my anatomy has changed since my last visit.

Anyway, I may have to double down on the Loritab for a few days. However, I'm really looking forward to the end result.

How old are you, JOAT? I know that once you're grown, tonsils are very vascular and very engorged in their little cavities. I've heard of doctors refusing to remove them for 25 year olds, even with PTA, because the procedure and recovery are so difficult.

Good luck to you and follow the orders on the prescription. Don't stop taking meds just because you feel better. Finish them per doc orders.

      I wish we could upgrade safety and put Scotts ass on the bench. ILB and Edge would also be nice.

      Playoffs?!

      It was hard to imagine beating Dallas and GB, so at this point I put nothing past this team. There are no asterisks in the record books.  Yes, Kraft got knocked out, but our piece meal line blanked one of the premier pass rushers in the league and our RB is playing like prime AP. DB is our best DT in 23 years, shuts down the run and draws at least 2 holding calls every game. This is one of the better secondaries this team has ever fielded.  O line depth may be the best this team has ever had and I am now comfortable in saying we have FINALLY found a true franchise LT. We have a stud #1 wr whose potential is just waiting to be unlocked and we also have an all world RB (for now).  This is neither a bad nor a good team, but they’ve showed identity and that they CAN  hang with the better teams in the league. They 100% look the part of a Panthers team. Physical team that runs the ball and plays fundamentally sound defense, usually. They’ll lose close games, get boat raced at least twice a season but then out of nowhere win a few they aren’t supposed to. They’ve gone from the easiest to the hardest team to handicap.  They are undeniably headed in the right direction, and are a QB, head coach and a few defensive pieces away from being serious contenders. Besides QB, the offense is set. WTF?  To conclude my mindless rambling, this is the PERFECT team for Mike Tomlin to come next. He and Morgan would mesh very well.  I have no expectations going forward but nothing will surprise me at this point.
