nsaid alternative for cramps?



Recommended Posts

The only thing that has ever worked for me when I have cramps is Ibuprofen and now I can't have that. Tylenol never works. Does anyone have anything the have gotten from their doc or figured out something else that works?

When I left the hospital I was given that pain medication in liquid form. It's a huge bottle, so when I have a cramps I take a bit of that it helps

Sent from my SM-G360T1 using BariatricPal mobile app

I still have some meds from the hospital, but I'm kind of thinking about what the heck I'm gonna do long term cuz eventually it will run out and I'm never supposed to take nsaids again

Omg I had never thought of that! I don't have my period anymore but seriously, I'd have been bedridden without my ibuprofen! I feel for you!

I'm past that age, but mine was brutal, so I know what you are going through and my heart goes out to you. Motrin was the only thing that worked for me too. Tylenol and aspirin are absolutely useless against cramps.

How about the birth control pills that stop your period or the hormonal IUDs?

Midol would usually help me. Also, I noticed when I had a car with seat warmers they helped my period cramps amazingly well, so if you have that I'd say go for a drive, lol!

I have a Mirena IUD now which decreased my periods to only occasional spotting, but the first couple of weeks were hard. I had lots of cramping as my girly parts adjusted. Also, I got a full-blown period after my sleeve surgery.

HTH!

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
