Senior Member Pulpedfiction1 Posted July 26, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2013 I'm 24 hours post op and having typical discomfort in the donor area. Have been taking 800mg of Ibuprofen thus far. Is there anything stronger available over the counter? What have you guys used? Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member StaggerLee123 Posted July 26, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2013 Didn't your doc give you any meds or a prescription? Not anything much more potent you can buy over the counter. Are you purposely not taking anything stronger? Have your Doc call something in asap, no need to gut it out unless you can't take the strong stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Senior Member NoTakeBacks Posted July 26, 2013 Senior Member Share Posted July 26, 2013 I was prescribed Vicodin, which I filled the day before. You could add Acetaminophen or Aspirin to the mix, as your body processes them differently than Ibuprofen(Liver vs Kidney). 800mg of Ibuprofen is one of the heaviest duty OTC you can rock though. You can try Naproxen (Aleve) but I don't know if it can match 800mg. Maybe get aspirin with a slight muscle relaxant. And as always don't drink, as your liver and kidneys are gonna be taxed enough if you decided to mix and match OTC pain killers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
