Hi

How often do you take painkillers?I mean anything like panadol,Tylenol or any such thing for any pain?

thanks

I take Tylenol when I need something, but not often. The only thing I've needed it for in recent months were headaches, and back when I had strep throat I was popping it like candy.

Before banding I used to take Advil for serious menstrual cramps every single month, and I was really worried about whether Tylenol would be able to manage it for me. I've been surprised to find that I don't even need anything anymore; I guess the cramps weren't as bad as they used to be and I just never noticed because I was numbing them away.

Are you talking about chronic pain? What hurts?

hi

Thanks for answering.I am actually talking pain meds in general.For aches and pains.Ports that are sore,headache,backache,joints any thing that would get one to take pain meds.

Once a day,once a week, twice a week,......

I am trying to see if post-op pill taking is less than pre-op.Most overweight people tend to self medicate a lot more than what they actually think.(Pre-op that is...)

Chronic included,of course.
