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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
