I don't understand why so many pills are prescribed at a time. I had half my thyroid removed a few years ago. Doc numbed the area with something that would last for 24 hours and it worked. He also prescribed 40 Percocet to take if I needed it. Still have all of them; never got close to painful enough to need them.

Watch 'Painkiller' on Netflix, it explains why. The salespeople who went out to convince doctors to start using Oxycotin didn't get commission based on how many pills were sold, it was based on how many milligrams.
The sales reps goal was to pretty much convince the doctors that whatever milligram they started a patient on, they had to gradually up the milligrams.
As for as Percocet, I have no idea, but according to several shows about Oxycotin, the doctors who prescribed at most pills at the highest milligrams offered were jackpot for the sales reps.
