So I'm allergic to asprin, tylenol and NSAIDs (includes ibuprofen). What the HELL am I going to get for pain meds???

@@laurenella82, that's right. And once you're discharged it's so much harder to resolve medication issues. It's better and smarter to leave the hospital with all the prescriptions you may need. Pain meds, nausea meds, and a PPI are a must, and if you don't need the first two, then don't take them.

I didn't take any pain meds after leaving the hospital. Honestly the only pain I had was the gas that was trapped in my chest and back. I walked and walked and got it moving. Never been so happy to burp in my life. I honestly didn't have any other pain.

Can you take something like Arnica? It comes as a liquid but I prefer the sublingual pellets. I have used that for back pain. I used it for general bruising/pain once when I fell off my horse. It is certainly not in the category of a narcotic but it is fine for low level aches and pains.
