I have not taken any, but on the odd day with some pain have any of you taken one of these and what were the result? Tylenol is just not getting it these days.

This sounds like something you should ask your doctor.

Talk with your doctor. I was warned multiple times to not take any NSAIDS and to make sure my other medical providers knew that. Prior to the surgery I took meloxicam on a daily basis for years.

I've taken Advil a couple of times (Tylenol doesn't work for me either). The only thing that happened was my headache went away.

I am an ICU nurse, not your doctor, but I can tell you this: NSAIDs are corrosive to the linings of your digestive tract. Your have very little gastric breakdown because you have a small pouch. That ibuprofen will erode in the places where the new connections have been made. This could lead to a leak and potentially very serious complications. Talk to your doc about options, but don't fool with the ibuprofen. Seriously. There are very good reasons why your doctor warned you against it.

I am on Carafate so I can temporarily take ibuprofen for hip and back pain. My doctor said as long as I take the Carafate 4x day, I can take the ibuprofen. I still am very hesitant, however, and am so far avoiding it because my PCP prescribed me hydrocodone. I also take a baby aspirin daily but, again, I have to be sure I'm taking the Carafate. It prevents ulcers.
