I am 8 weeks post op and still unable to take pills! I have a terrible headache is it safe to take powder aspirin? The label says may cause stomach bleeding and that scared me but my head is pounding!!!

You are NEVER allowed to take any NSAIDs. That is aspirin, ibuprofen, naproxen, etc. unless your doctor is different, mine (and most I've heard) say no NSAIDs ever again.

You can get Tylenol in liquid form

Tylenol also has quick dissolve tabs and chewables.

I couldn't drink the liquid, its too sweet

Consult with your doctor, you may have an underlying problem for your headache. You should also become familiar with the class of NSAID medications so you won't mistakenly take one. Good luck.

You can take NSAID and it takes large doses over an extended period of time to cause bleeding taking a dose every now and again is ok you can even take daily doses for a period of time you stomach is not any different now than it was except it is smaller than before

Call your Doctor!!!!!

No Nsaids ever my dr. said. When I had headaches after surgery I was told to take Liquid childrens Tylenol and it worked on my headaches and when the pain was mild in the belly.

Take children Tylenol. It help me with headache. I was told no Aspirin for now. Don't know about long future.....

Call your Doctor!!!!!

I stopped my prescribed pain meds. as it was making me hyper so I couldn't sleep, and switched to Tylenol Extra strength rapid release gels. They're pretty small and I can manage 2 sips of a drink to get them down and they worked wonders for pain. I also had hiatal hernia repaired so I was in pain since release from hospital Friday. Tylenol worked better than Percocette-go figure!
