Life without NSAIDS?

In my surgeon consult yesterday he told me that once I have surgery, I must avoid NSAIDS at any and all costs because the potential to cause ulcers. Pardon the pun, but this was a tough pill to swallow LOL What in the world do you do when you have a headache or period cramps? Tylenol has always been 100% ineffective for me especially with period cramps. Headaches are rare for me, but cramps...those are a definite once a month occurrence and they show no mercy except when I toss back about 4 Advil :blink:

  • Yikes...well, I have a copper IUD for birth control because I can't take BCP's. I'm estrogen sensitive or some crap. Every inch of my face, chest and back break out in tiny pimples, no matter the type

  • Aspirin is an NSAID so is contraindicated after gastric bypass. Do not take it as it may cause ulcers.

    You will need to have an alternative solution. If possible, birth control of a hormonal type is most useful when it comes to difficult periods. I would work this out now, before your surgery.

Im not sure where you live but surely with a medical card they cant fire you. besides CBD doesnt have any THC in it. I find it hard to believe employers dont allow use of CBD. I mean people give it to kids and dogs


Yah, but I dont want to get fired from my JOB. That is a ban and if they test me randomly then I can get fired.

Before surgery I lived off NSAIDS. Toradol actually, I have horrid migraines. It was almost a decision changer for me. Honestly since my surgery Tylenol (never effective before) is decent for me. Total suprise but I dont even have to take 2. Just grind up a 500mg and it does the trick. They say no asprin also. Good luck!
