5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
I started out rocky, throwing up, bad headaches...I think both were caused by the Percocet. I stopped that over the weekend and havent had either. Although the last two nights I have woken up in the middle of the night with night sweats. I go to sleep semi-cold, only to wake up sweating, and I am still having the strangest dreams. I am currently taking three advil every 8 hours. Today I am nautious and hoping that it hasn't finally taken a toll on my stomach. I can't take asprin because of a history of acid reflux and stomach ulcers. I'm wondering what types of changes will happen now that I have had this done. No bleeding at all so that makes me happy.

Re: 5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
Did you have your ovaries removed?
The ibuprofen can be REALLY hard on your stomach, as bad as aspirin. I too have reflux & gastritis and stuck to tylenol. I know the ibuprofen helps w/ inflamation (sp?) & pain, the tylenol pain only.

Re: 5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
I also could not take stuff like advil, aspirin, etc., because of my stomach. And percocet made me so sick. My doc. tried darvocet 100, much weaker, but stronger than tylenol alone. It helped me transition to tylenol. Also, remember to try to eat something...toast, applesauce, saltines, something to go with any kind of pain meds or advil type meds.
Take care,

Re: 5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
oops, no I still have my ovaries and my cervix. I guess I will switch to Tylenol. Can I take three of those? Maybe I should just call my doctor.

Re: 5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
Your ovaries may be a little wacked out from the surgery. Also, as far as the tylenol, only take the prescribed amount on the bottle which is usually 2 pills, but double check. So many people think that since it is over the counter that it is not strong. NOT true!
Really any questions you have just call the doc. They are there for you and will ease your mind. Maybe he/she can prescibe some pain meds that are easier on your tummy if the tylenol doesn't work well.

Definitely call the doc. Tylenol overdose is very easy to do...even with consistently taking 3. Ask your doc.
Take care,

Re: 5 Days Post Op, Rocky Road
try eating oatmeal or grits with your percocets. or switch to tylenol. I am the same way with narcodics.
