I my surgeon says I have to crush all my meds. The bad part is I have a UTI and really need to take some AZO Standard for the discomfort but that med can't be crushed! Ugh! This sucks.

Believe it or not I get uti's also, my dr said not to crush the cipro

I had a wound infection and my doctor said I didn't have to crush my pills I would be fine. I was fine so I took my other pills and ibuprofen with no problems. I was 2 weeks post op. I'm 5 weeks out now. Hope you feel better soon.

Aren't AZO tiny little pills? My rule of thumb was that smaller than an m&m I could swallow. Anything bigger had to be crushed.

I followed the same rules as Lissa, and was just fine.

I have a pills question too. Does it get easier to swallow them?!

My gosh, I have to take 3 regular meds in the morning (all smaller than an m&m), so swallow them with Water, but it makes me gag as I can only sip & not gulp them down. Will I just get used to it eventually. I swear, it is the only bad thing so far with my post-op recovery! I hate taking my pills!
