Postoperative consumption of narcotic pain medication will be measured for approximately 72 hours post operatively. Three total surveys will be administered. The surveys will be sent to participants via text message or email and include a link to SurveyMonkey. These surveys will be sent in the morning approximately 1 day, 2 days, and 3 days after surgery. The surveys will query for participant identification and then ask how many tablets of ibuprofen 600mg and hydrocodone-acetaminophen have been taken since the time of surgery or the time of previous survey depending on if the survey is received on Day 1, versus Day 2, and Day 3. The number of narcotic pain medication pills consumed postoperatively will be presented as means and standard deviations by treatment arm.
