Help Me Get Some Pain Relief!



Recommended Posts

OK, what do you do for instances that require Tylenol?? ? I can no longer swallow pills. I used tip be an avid aleve taker for my TOM and terrible headaches! But, since nsaids are a no no, and I cannot find any liquid adult Tylenol,I just tough it out and it sucks. I've considered contracting my doctor to see if he can rx me something liquid because I'm not sure how much longer I can take this. My TOM IS so bad these days I need something for pain.

Cut them in half or crush them.

If you cut them, put Water in your mouth and then drop them in while you still have water in your mouth. Everything (just about) makes me gag but that way I don't feel, nor taste them as they go right down with the water.

i have have to take one large tablet a day for blood pressure. i find that crushing the tablet up fine and introducing it to my cup of coffee of a morning works really well for me. I havent been able to take much in the way of pain killers but the b/p meds i do have to take daily. I find it works well.

I've bought adult strength liquid Tylenol at CVS. If you can't find it just use the children's. 1 teaspoon has 160 milligrams of acetaminophen so 3 teaspoons is roughly equivalent to one extra strength tablet.

I purchased from a CVS store in my hometown the same as Cindy. And like she stated you could use a childrens brand. Just talk to the druggist and tell them why and they will tell you which one and how much to increase dosage to work for you.

Best wishes and use a heating blanket for 30-40 on shoulders, upper back and even lung area. It will make you feel lots better.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
