cinderella8 15 Posted April 16, 2017 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.

Ldyvenus 317 Posted April 16, 2017 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. 1 TaureanMe reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Take them with lots food and ppi if you can't avoid them 1 cinderella8 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hopekate 85 Posted April 17, 2017 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
