Otc Pain Meds? Pills?

I have heard that taking pills is pretty much a no no after surgery, so I am wondering what everyone takes at home for pain, headaches, etc.

Thanks!!

Well, I am 3 weeks away from having surgery, but my Dr told me to keep liquid tylenol on hand for every day aches and what not. I have plenty as my 12 year old daughter had her tonsils removed about 2 months ago and used hardly any...it's mine now!

I took nothing I had no pain at all...Put buy liquid tylenol that helped me when I had a fever and was so much better than crushed pills (yuk)

NYB..that is awesome...when did you have your surgery?? I hope I dont have to take much for the pain...I dont care for pain meds much. I had a foot surgery in July 12, and took like 2 pills the first 24 hrs...that was it.

I had surgery Nov 6, 2012. If you had foot surgery and did not need pills you wont need any for this surgery. If you walk and get up and down keep stretching those ab muscles you will be fine. On the 4th day after surgery I was walking my son to the bus stop and cleaning my house...

I hope so...I had my gallbladder removed in 2001...and boy do I know the gas pain all to well. I remember having to walk walk walk WALK...even though you wanna curl up and sleep until they're gone HA HA.

My Dr said that should be the most bothersome thing...and I pray it is. You look as if you are doing awesome...keep up the good work!

Yep the gas is the worst part of it. Gas X strips seem to help.

If you had gallbladder surgery it is the same exact thing. I had my removed in 2003 and it felt the same exact way and my surgeon used the same incisions. There you go now you know what to expect..you already experience a surgery that was similar. Good luck and wish you well to a quick recovery!
