For those having Fibromyalgia, what do you use for pain control after WLS?

I have Fibromyalgia and I take Flexeril's and Ibuprophen 800mg...generally as needed tho they were prescribed 3 x's a day which was ridiculous, I may take 6-8 pills the entire month. I really slacked up on even that amount the last 4 months. However the the pain is bad, it takes that 800 mgs to knock it out somedays with the Flexeril combo. Since Ibuprophen is already harsh on the stomach and the pouch is reduced to a smaller size..I am assuming I can no longer take that med. What has worked for you all? I am researching now prior to getting the surgery date? I did try Celebrex...a baby aspirin might have done more :-) and Naprosyn had little effect also...so what else is out there for FMS? Terry
