Is Tylenol The Only Thing We Can Take?

[anaustin 7]

So my surgery was August 1st and I still feel plenty of discomfort in my body I'm almost out of pain meds and I've been taking the lowest dose possible to ween myself off of them. The problem is pre surgery Tylenol use not do much for me. So my question is to help alleviate some of the aches what can I take??

Go ask for a shot of Toradol it's an anti inflammatory.

I was the same, never bought Tylenol before surgery because it didn't do squat. But I found it did help (some, not a lot) when I needed it for aches/pains. Children's liquid, of course.

Liquid Tylenol is the only thing I am allowed to take. I can tell you, prior to surgery, Tylenol wouldn't have touched my lower back pain. Since surgery, I've had low back pain twice, and just 3 tsp (yes...tsp...not TBSP!) took care of the pain for me. You might try it before you give up on it...you might be as surprised as I was! Best of luck!

I called d hospital and my doc. was able to give me tynelo with codine which I like much better than vicodine. Vicodine works for d pain but gets me way to high.lol.. Im not big Medicine person.

Children's chewable grape did it for me!

I am allergic to Tylenol and ibuprofen. I can't have aspirin or Aleve after surgery. I guess I will just have to endure.
