Pain medication post sleeve

[PAguy 27]

Hi all, I slept wrong on my neck about a week ago and the soreness is really starting to bug me.

I was sleeved in May and I'm wondering What type of over the counter pain medication is ok to take with my new sleeve? Tylenol just isn't cutting it right now.

I'm afraid that in common practice the answer is....Tylenol. Pretty much every other pill I know of that you can get OTC is an NSAID, which is a no no. Perhaps you can try something topical that goes directly on the skin, or use heat/cold therapy, but if none of that seems viable, and even if it does, I'd contact your surgeon and discuss the pain with them

Tylenol is our only option now. Anything else puts you at risk for ulcers.

They make a liquid hydrocodone, but your doctor has to prescribe it

Chiropractor or acupuncture are also options. I use ice and heat alternating at first. I use outback natural oil blend roll on , arnica Montana with msm cream or Doterra's deep blue for pain.

Children's liquid Tylenol is my primary pain medication now. I also have some of the stronger stuff (also liquid) that was prescribed for me post-op, but I haven't gotten into that since the first couple of days post-op. But I keep it around just in case.

Don't underestimate the curative powers of ice and heat (or sitting with ice and heat while watching "Fire and Ice" - That's just for the Game of Thrones fans). Ice to reduce swelling and pain, heat increases circulation and healing.

I take Tylenol 8 hr Arthritis. 650 mg per pill. It can be bought OTC (Over the Counter). I take one and my pain is gone within an hour.
