    Yes, 800 mg. Ibuprofen. I couldn't tolerate the narcotics, so it's been rough. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    @Tabbycat @tjcteacher how is it going? I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow. I feel like I live in the over did-it club. Swelling the minute I stand up. I'm taking ibuprofen 800 mg 2-3 times a day. Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    I got my staples out today, 2 weeks past surgery. It was good to get that bandage off, also. Doctor said I can take ibuprofen, so that's going to help a lot. I'm feeling pretty good, and starting to be able to do more around the house. Watching the tornado coverage on tv is keeping me...

    I just took 2 extra strength Tylenol and I am in so much less pain! I am surprised because you think that is something you might just use for a mild headache! Sent from my iPhone using BoneSmart Forum

    The anti nausea that stopped the nausea is a cream that you rub on your wrist. I can't remember the name right now. Maybe something like phenagrin? But that made me fall into a heavy sleep with crazy dreams and I also felt so drugged. So, I'm not on any meds now. Just using ice to numb the pain...
