Anyone dependent on NSAIDs for pain before surgery? What did you do for pain after your surgery? I don't mean right after, but like a few months later? I have arthritis along with back problems and take a prescription NSAID. The thought of having to give it up and live with pain scares me. Tylenol doesn't do much for me.

Oh, sillykitty you're brilliant! I found a place that sells it a few towns away, and my son is going to go get me some!! Here's hoping it works. Thanks for your suggestion.

I've never taken NSAIDs, but definitely know it is a no-go post surgery. I started having trouble with pain and anxiety about 6 months ago and started using more natural methods for handling this. I started making my own cannabutter and found a dosage and strain of medical marijuana that works for me... I prefer edibles by far. But everyone has different things that work for them. I know that using this method has helped my pain and lowered my anxiety a lot.
