Default Pain meds with NO codeine?

hi...new here...sorry to be so brief and sloppy with my post but I'm dreary from the meperidine.

I'm having a LOT of difficulty urinating and I'm fairly sure it's from the pain meds. I had a endometrial ablation yesterday and laparoscopy and they sent me home on meperidine for pain. But, to be a bit too frank, I'm having to strain harder than with a bowel movement just to urinate!

I'm googling "meds without codeine" as I'm allergic - but I guess I'm just too out of it to search well...any suggestions? I've put in a call to my dr. too of course. He also gave me zofran if the meds make me nauseus.

HELP...MMT
