Hello Everyone!

I had braces put in and have the worst headaches ever! I need some pain medicine. I remember doctors orders were no ibuprofen, no motrin, no advil, nothing! he only said ok to Tylenol. Something about anti inflammatory who knows what...

does anyone know why we can't other pain medicines, Tylenol just doesn't cut it for me....

and I would like to take motrin when those days of the months come along as well because I get bad cramps.

Advice?

Thanks.

By the way, 5 months out am I still supposed to be taking my Protein drink? I dont know... when I have my shake I get hungry like 2 hrs later...doesn't cut it for me...thanks

Motrin can be hard on your stomach and can cause ulcers. My dr said the same thing. Some dr's say it is ok in moderation. I was okay'd to take midol for cramps.

Protein shake- my nut said to eliminate Protein shakes by 8 weeks out. If I need to supplement, she said to use bars because they stay with you longer.
