Medicines?

What do y'all take for pain? Like for head ache, back pain, cramps, etc. Everyday aches and pains? Am having back ache and "monthly" pains right now and haven't taken any pills since banded. And the thought of having to take like 5 spoons of liquid motrin or something is just awful. Have some liquid lottab left from surgery, but hate to takethat. Plus can't take

it when I am at work, lol!

I use liquid Tylenol.

Or I use Advil. My surgeon said any pill was okay as long as it was not bigger than a pencil eraser. So, if I do a pill, I try to find the smallest. Or, I half the pill. (like sinus medication)

Can I ask where you get the liquid tylenol. All the stores around me seem to have discontinued it and it's not showing up online either. Thanks

I take advil. Before people say you can't take ibuprofen, I checked with my drs PA and she said as long as you don't take it on a regular basis it is fine. I don't have any fill and I can swallow any pill. For TOM I usually take midol.

14 days out and i have been using pills since about day 4
