Menstrual Cramps

Hello, my dr told me I could only take Tylenol after having the sleeve done. Prior to surgery when I would get my period, I would take Motrin but I don’t think that’s allowed anymore. What do you all suggest that we can take to help With the cramping?

    You guys! Pamprin and a few other off brands ice acetaminophen (aka tylenol) as their main pain medication! I've been using generic pamprin and it's awesome SW: 366 CW: 329 GW1: 200 RNY Dec 18, 2017

Tylenol.

yeah...just Tylenol but if that's not cutting it go back to your doctor and see what other options they might have. I also use a heating pad and light exercise to help with the pain - especially on the first day or so of my period.

Same. I can’t take my beloved Motrin either. I’m going to see about getting an IUD or a more permanent solution now that I’m two months out. I do find liquid Tylenol to be more effective but it’s more expensive and doesn’t last long. It just takes the edge off for me.
