female only What Do You All Take For Cramps?

[Bcole 6]

Hey ladies! I know we aren't supposed to take whole pills and Aleve used to knock my cramps out in 1o mins. Now that you're sleeved, what are you taking for menstrual cramps?

My surgeon told me that I'm not restricted anymore and that i'm perfectly fine to take whatever I need. I am 4 months out and I take aleve when I need to. Aleve pills are also pretty small. Pre-surgery I would take aleve and pamprin. I haven't needed the pamprin, so I haven't tried it. They are larger than the aleve so I'm not sure how they would work.

I also asked my surgeon if I could switch to a "normal" Vitamin, instead of the gummies/chewies. He said I was fine to try it and just see how they feel.

I would suggest you just ask if/when you can take pills again. In the meantime, you can try a hot Water bottle or some exercise. The exercise never worked when they were super bad for me, but when I didn't have the aleve or something I would use the hot water bottle, and once it got a bit better I would do some light exercise. It never worked completely but it did help.

Over the counter Tylenol adult blast liquid. Cherry flavor. CVS has a generic for it too. Works like a charm.
