Motrin

[cinderella8 15]

I know Motrin is a no no after surgery. I took Motrin quite a bit before my surgery in Dec but not since. This month I am having the worst menstrual cramps. I need to be able to function today and can't just rest them away. I'm thinking if taking 1 Motrin because nothing else really helps. But I'm scared! Any advice suggestions etc?? TIA.

Which surgery did you have? I choose the sleeve specifically because I would still be able to take Ibuprofen post surgery. I have used it a handful of times since surgery with no issues.

You should be careful. Nsaids even in normal people leads to ulcers let alone in a person with so little of stomach tissue left. Take them with lots food and ppi if you can't avoid them

I had the sleeve 4 months ago. I'm so glad to hear that. I think I will take one. Ty.

I use prescription Voltaren gel for pain. It is like (or is?) ibuprofen but topical. I don't know if it would help for cramps though.

I hope you feel better!
