i prefer imbuprofen, they give you pain killers so dont worry about taking any with you. However, they may not last you longer then a week, so i got some painkillers in ready. I didnt end up needing them, i didnt end up using all the pain meds they gave me!

You'll be provided with strong pain killers babe and possibly anti-biotics too.

If your surgeon hasn't prescibed ibropofen then do ask before taking hun as they are prone to encourage bleeding, so do ask first babe.

Mostly after day 3/4 up to a week women tend to need only paracetamol anyway hun. xx

I wouldn't worry about the 'pain' too much hun, I'd say at least 8 out of 10 of us come back and say it's not at all what we expected, more 'discomfort' then 'pain' xx

i had to get my painkillers and antibiotics myself from a pharmacy after the surgery he just gave me a prescription. this proved to me even more how important it was to have someone with me to help with everything x Which pain killers? Will hosp give me them? 48411

That doesn't happen in the UK Kristen, here we're provided with the meds by our surgeon. xx

I was told no ibruprofen or aspirin 2 weeks before as well. Assume aspirin is because it thins the blood but I can't remember why u can't take ibruprofen.

I was given tramadol by my ps x

Ibuprofen Contains asprin. Thats why they say no

The hospital gave me co-drydamol and antibiotics. I switched to paracetemol within days though. I was recommended to take two co-drydamols at a time, it made me feel too out of it, so I took one co-drydamol and one paracetemol instead. This way I still got the same dose of paracetomol you get from two co-drydamols, but only half as spaced out instead. It was enough to relieve the pain for me.

Ibuprofen is a blood thinner, PS told me not to take any two weeks before surgery, I wouldn't recommend ibuprofen for a couple of weeks post surgery xxx
