I have been having "regular" periods (in that they are every 28-34 days and not every 58 days pre-surgery) but I am still having horrible cramps.  I used to take ponstan but that is a no-no post-surgery as it's an NSAID.  My doctor prescribed me some percocet, but it doesn't really do anything for the pain.  I have tried Tylenol 1s and same thing, they don't really work and just constipate me.  Does anyone have any ideas (prescription or non-prescription) as I am seeing my family doctor this weekend about my cramps and want to bring her some suggestions.  Any ideas/advice would be greatly appreciated.

My daughter and friend have endometriosis and get Torredol (sp?) for pain. Not sure if it's an NSAID but it couldn't hurt to ask! Good luck! (So glad I'm done with that!) 😊 Kim

Toradol is an NSAID. It is also known as Ketorolac.

Definitely talk to your doctor.  I was having severe cramps too, and mine put me on "the pill".  It can't be counted on for birth control post surgery, but it worked for me for this.  It's just what I was put on, you could be suggested something else.    I've also tried Tylenol Menstral and Midol which help with the less severe cramps.
