Hi I have a quick question. I know 99 percent of docs say no pill NSAIDs. What about injectables? Has anyone received Toradol which can be given in a large muscle? I'm trying to find an option for my awful cramps. I cannot take narcotics and my beloved Advil! Oh dang!

Thanks!

I think it would be ok. I've had toradol a couple times since surgery.

My doctor said NSAIDS are fine with the sleeve. He said its RNY patients that cannot have them due to risk of ulcers.

I had this conversation with my doctor this week because before surgery 800mg ibuprofen was normal for me to take for autoimmune pain. He said from time to time was fine but my 800mg days were over. This will be something I will have to talk to rheumatologist about.

Mine said I have to stop them for a while prior to surgery as they are hard on the stomach. Must be just if fervent philosophies.

My thoughts are stop for know until I get the ok to start again. I get really bad cramps I have fibroids that fight with my mirena and it's like a mini war down there. I just wanted to make sure I had An option non narcotic and Tylenol does nothing. I think my uterus laughs at Tylenol!

Don't know if it is the same in states, my surgeon said you can get them in suppository form.... May be worth asing your doctor

NSAIDS in general cause GI upset, can lead to ulcers, & even GI bleeds, I believe its just preventive action advising patients to not take them.

I take Celebrex, which is a prescription NSAID, everyday and my surgeon okay'd it. I would not have had this surgery if I couldn't continue NSAIDs. I also take Tramadol which is a synthetic narcotic. I know you said that you couldn't take narcotics but maybe these would work for you since it is synthetic? Good luck. I know all about pain.
