How long after surgery did you start taking them? I know I need to take ibuprofen with food - do you take it with a PPI or any other pre-cautions?

I had some botched dental work done, I can't get back in to get it fixed, and I'm in a lot of pain. I tried tylenol, codeine, and vicodin, and none of them are doing anything to the pain. I took 200 mg of motrin, and it worked like a miracle. I am scared to take them, but I took them for the better part of the last 6 years pre-op and had no problems with my stomach.

I pulled a muscle a few weeks back, asked my nurse the same thing. She said short term use of NSAID along with a PPI would alleviate a lot of the danger. She defined short term use as 200mg a few times a day tops, I actually went a step further and took my omezaprole twice daily while I was on them.

I'm not giving medical advice, just sharing my experience. And yeah, 2 aleve made me feel a world better.

My surgeon let me start taking them a month post-op. I take 400 mg of Ibuprofen twice a day for an old neck injury and have for years. We discussed it before I decided to have VSG surgery and it's working fine afterwards.

We were on the same day, and I was cleared. I would just take the precautions that have been mentioned as long as this wasn't a long-term thing- w/food & ppi.

Sorry about the dental work.

I'd rather have surgery every day for the rest of my life than a freaking tooth ache!! My teeth and my back are usually the only times I have a really low tolerance from pain.

I take them with food, and with prilosec (generic) twice a day. No problems.

Feel better !!!
