Pain relievers

Is there anything other than Tylenol that RNY patients can take?  I take liquid tylenol and it seems to do nothing. Mark

Hey mark... EVery doc is different...but My doc gave me Liquid Ibuprophen in the hospital from day one... I know Dxe has been on long term NSAIDS Therapy....check with you doc and see if thi is an alternative Good luck russ

Thanks Russ.  I stiffened up today after shoveling snow & slush.  I always found motion (ibuprophen) to be much more effective at inflamation & pain relief. Mark

Dude you need to learn the southern way of snow removal God put it there just wait he will remove it. No muscle strains!!!!

I guess I'll trade my northern winters for your southern summers! Call me when it's 95F & 90% humidity!  I have friends that live near Spring Hill and it's sweltering there in the summer.

Dude, that would work where I live, but in many places up North, God won't remove it until late Spring.  If you have sidewalks, most towns will fine you if they're not cleared within 24 hours of the end of the snowfall.   I have a friend who used to live in Buffalo, NY and the year he left there, it had snowed every day from mid-Oct to mid-Mar. Many parts of the North get hit by regular storms and by lake effect snow.  Either way, you have to remove the white stuff.  In the East, it's usually wet snow as opposed to the drier and airier snow out West.  Yeah, it's snow and it's wet, but wet snow usually packs easily and is harder to remove.  Dry snow is usually wispy and can often be blown away.
