donaboss 131 Posted January 31, 2014 I got my period and since I have to work I had to take 2 aleves. I am in pain. Yesterday was my 1 month anniversary for my surgery. The NP said as long as you don't take it daily you will be fine. So I hope I will be because I had no choice but to take it. The sad part is that it's not really helping Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LindafromFlorida 1,542 Posted January 31, 2014 Poor girl, I remember those horrible days. I could not have functioned without pain meds.Advil was my lifesaver. I took a ton in my lifetime. God knows what all those meds did to my liver. I sure hope you find relief. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

God knows what all those meds did to my liver. I sure hope you find relief. Tell me about it. I can't live without aleve and I only take it during this time of the month. I don't take it for anything else. I know this will probably damage something inside my sleeve but I will have to deal with it because there was no way I could of came to work without taking something. I hate liquid Tylenol and it doesn't even help. I haven't seen you post lately hope all is well 1 BabySheldon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Bufflehead 6,358 Posted January 31, 2014 I'm allowed to take NSAID's occasionally but I went ahead and asked my dr. for a prescription for Tramadol for cramps, just a couple days' per month worth. Might be worth checking in to, especially if Alleve isn't helping all that much anyway. 1 BabySheldon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DirtyHarriett 94 Posted January 31, 2014 I was just going to mention Tramadol... Works great. I hope you feel better! 1 BabySheldon reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lornadoone629 31 Posted January 31, 2014 I take Tramadol for my psoriatic arthritis, but since being off of my anti-inflammatory meds due to my new "tummy", I had taken an occassional Aleve. My rheumatologist told me to take them for my bursitis in my shoulder last month to help with the pain. I don't take it often, but when I do, I take it on a fuller stomach, usually right after I've eaten or with my meal. I know....no drinking with a meal, but sometimes, I have to be a rebel and do it for the pills..... better that, than to continue to suffer! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
