PudgeBeGone 99 Posted April 24, 2019 So tomorrow I’ll be four weeks post op, or we’ll one month. And the pains on my left side have gotten sorta worse so I contacted my dr who decided I should take muscle relaxers. Well they called as they were closing and just said to start taking them tonight. I forgot to ask if I should crush them or just take them whole. The pharmacist wasn’t help either nor was the on call nurse who “can’t answer questions unless it’s an emergancy”. I have an apt tomorrow and I will be asking them them about the rest of my meds like my blood pressure, anxiety, and Vitamins. Do you think I can take it whole? My body just doesn’t handle crushed pills well, it results in puking it all up within five minutes haven’t even been able to take my vitamins(so I was told to just take it easy and try to drink stuff that has it in it already)or my anxiety meds.

RachaelLou 32 Posted April 24, 2019 I’m 4 weeks post op today. Over the weekend I had a Migraine and had to take a Tylenol that couldn’t be crushed and I was fine. I’ve been taking my pills whole since then and I’ve been just fine. 1 allies journey reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
