Tissue Grafting

[Jules]

I had this procedure done this morning and as of this afternoon not feeling much pain. I there would be some pain in the roof of my mouth where the tissue was taken but it's now been 6 hours since the procedure and there isn't any which is a pleasant surprise unless it's coming later. I've been a medical cannabis user since 2014 and I take a gummy before bed for sleep. My question is, is it safe to take my bedtime edible tonight?

What medication were you prescribed? It should be fine, unless you mix it with any opioid that might have been prescribed for post-op pain management.

It is likely safe for you to take your bedtime edible tonight, provided you monitor how you feel afterward and adhere to your usual dosage guidelines. However, consulting with a healthcare professional who understands your medical history would provide additional reassurance.

I wasn't prescribed anything but I chose not to take the edible last night because I wasn't sure if I should. Thanks for your reply, it's appreciated.

I have a followup question now that I've been taking my nightly edible, I was wondering if doing this will affect the healing process?

 

[Dr M]

No it should not affect it. You should be fine
