broke fingers- pain

[bamamom 1]

Hello...last Friday night I fell over my dog that was laying on the ground next to me and broke my pinky and ring fingers...the pain is terrible and the Dr. gave me Hydrocodone....but it upsets my stomach and I can't eat anything...does anybody take Advil or Motrin...my WS dr. said to stay away from them due to the damage that it does to your stomach lining.... just wondering if I could take them short term???

thanks,

When i asked my doc about NSAIDs 2 weeks ago, because I had/have tendinitis in my shoulder. He had no problem with me taking them. He said that rule is for bypass patients. I guess your doc has different thoughts, but mine was fine with it. I took a few doses and it helped tremendously, though sometimes I still feel it

thanks.... I think they would help with the swelling too!!

Motrin is probably the best choice.

Cindy... I would love to take motrin..but my dr. said I shouldn't take... I used to take it for bad cramps...but he said to stop...don't know why, something about damage to the stomach lining... I might just try to eat some toast b4 I take the Hydrocodone and see if that helps.... thanks
