Female troubles... any advice?
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.
i am still pre op i tried T3s that i had from my foot a few months back and it seemed to help me (normally i take naproxen for cramps but went off them last year in preparing for the surgery most months reg tylenol worked but a few months back i had a period from hell and resorted to the T3's i had left over. I have a family dr appointment on Monday i am going to ask for a prescription for T3's my surgery is coming up on June 16th
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.
