Question for the ladies!

Hi all. So I'm 3 weeks post op and I'm due to have my period. I suffer from cramps and was wondering what I can take to ease the pain? As I've been told I still can swallow tablets. Thanks in advance...

I had the same thing. 3 weeks out. I usually have really bad cramps. I first used a tylenol . That didn't work although no prob swallowing it. I then used half of a pain killer from my stiches. That really worked. I think it was an oxycodoine..!/2 did the trick for a day or 2 .Also , they had given me tramadol which also works on it.Good luck,

As a former "really bad cramp" girl, since I have lost the weight, my periods are shorter and less painful. Hope the same is true for you!!!

Tylenol...unless you are luck enough to have sone of your pain meds left lol :x

Also, I found a heating pad eased the pain as well. I have PCOS as well and know your pain :(

Feel free to message me if you ever need to :)
