What do you take for inflamation?

 I am having problems with an inflamed shoulder and hip.  I thought working out was supposed to get easier LOL!  I  try taking Tylenol, but it just doesn't cut it.  I was told we can take an NSID every once in awhile for 2 days to cut the inflamation, but I just did it last week for my shoulder and now my hip is killing me!

I know my joints are sore because I am carrying my self differently as I lose weight.  Don't get me wrong, I'd rather have this problem for now instead of my old problem of everything hurting because of having too much weight on them.

I put a call into the WLS clinic and am waiting for a call back, but you all come up with some of the best stuff too, so I  thought I'd throw it out there.   Thanks!

Definitely ask your clinic for their advice, but for me - I was told that when my knee pain was more than Tylenol could touch, it was okay to take Advil liqui-gels as they are not as harsh in the pouch as the other forms/tablets. 

So I did, and usually, one liqui-gel would do the trick.  But you should always take the advice of your program above all else.

contact your physician to find out what is safe to take. You can get a prescription for an anti-inflamm if you need it...

I take Tylenol fast acting liqui-gels... I haven't had to use anything else thankfully.. and yes.. as you lose you will get aches and pains and I remember a point where my whole body was sore as I carried my weight differently..  Now I walk like a normal person again!

I highly recommend staying away from any NSAIDS of any sort, unless they're the liquid-gels. I have dealt with 2 ulcers and wouldn't wish them on my worse enemy. I also worry with you  being so early out. Talk to your surgeon though as each program is different.
