Topical/Oral Recommendations?

I'm having surgery this month and would love to have a couple things on hand that aren't flower/vape (although flower is my preference) because I know it will be painful if I need to cough.

I'm relatively new to using medical cannabis for chronic pain and I'm wondering if anyone could suggest any pills or topicals that might be helpful after surgery. I'm in Northern WV and the dispensaries I've been to haven't had many options that aren't flower/vape/etc., so I'd love to know if there's anything that has been especially helpful to anyone here.

Thanks in advance!! 🫶🏻

** So far, the only strains that I've noticed touching my pain, are the R.O. Mandarin Sunset and Hippie Smacked. Otherwise I'm just stoned and in pain. 🫠
