ok so i have a question ive had 5 the last 3 months one to take out galstones one to take out my galbladder. an then hernia surgery on my belly there is 3 surgerys then on my checkup they told me just go check myself in the hospitol i had an infection in the hernia so they left the wound open when they reopened the hernia about 5 cms down an 6 cms deep an hooked a wound pump to it with foam down inside the wound for two weeks then as my good luck they said it was still infected an he needed to reopen it again so this time he reopened the cut going down an also made another going across the same depth an the bottom of the belly connected to the other cut it was 4 cms long an 6cms deep as well an again with the wound pump for a month now i have finally healed the wound up an got rid of the pump an went back to work but when i stand up for long periods the muscles around my belly really spasm i need an over the counter medicine that will help control the pain of these have tried ibuphropen and alieve i dont want to have to take alot of pills but something strong enough that is over the counter that i could take 2 every 6hrs or at least only 2 every 4 anyone know of any good ones for this type of thing?

I would contact your doctor to find out what you can take.

I agree-great advice- Its not an over the counter med but Toradol is great- non narcotic- and really takes the pain away- it IS a prescription but you can function while on it- but talk to you doctor. I dont want to practice without a license

may have to but he doesnt like to prescribe pain meds besides the ones that make me sick so kinda a lost cause with that doctor lol.

thanks for the replys but i really just want to find a good one over the counter for now tired of doctors an surgerys .

miodol is the one i made it through a ten hour work day on 4 pills was like night an day i still felt the pain but it makes it alot easier to deal with so for now thats my choice i know it sounds funny taking pms pain pill but if it helps that much im gonna use it till i finish healing up .just thought id post it in case someone else has the same issues .

getting better by the day still have some spasms if i do to much an the right side of it is still poped out i figure next yr il have it done right if it gets worse but for now just gonna finish out the yr using less an less medicine for pain which is a major plus in my book .just thought id update this one thanks for the ideas.

Glad you are doing better :-)

I
had a strangulated hernia, in my left abdomen, about five times within two years. I get how
painful that must have been for you. Spasms are a nuisance. Can you use a
heat pad or ice pack instead of meds? Glad you feel somewhat better :)
