Period Pain Relief

[Shotochick 35]

Hi newby here, sorry if this has been asked before but I searched and couldnt find a response.

My TOM is due the week post-surgery. At the moment I have to take painkillers every 2-4 hrs for the first 3-4 days of my period (it is that bad!)

Now, obviously I cannot take tablets the first few weeks - and most painkillers need to be taken whole not squished.

How do you ladies deal?

I am UK based BTW.

Thanks....4 weeks to surgery!

You can take soluble paracetamol. I stocked up on some from my GP before surgery and the hospital gave me them as I couldn't have morphine for the first 2 days. When I left hospital they sent me home with two boxes just remember to let the bubbles settle before drinking it. They work !!

BTW Welcome to the forums... There are a few UK people here and they are all lovely and very willing to help and support

Another thing to remember is that your period might be late due to your body recovering from surgery!
