What did your surgeon tell you about taking ibuprofen post-op? I am 10 days PO and have weaned myself off oxycodone. I’m just taking Tylenol, but I’d much rather take ibuprofen. My doc didn’t want me taking it in the 48 hours after surgery in order to to keep some inflammation to aid with healing. When I spoke with the PA after 72 hrs PO he advised me to stick with the oxy & Tylenol. So it’s the end of the day, I’m in pain, I don’t want to take the oxy – I lose all my executive brain functions. Is there a danger in taking ibuprofen at this point (10 days PO)?
