I had wrist surgery two weeks ago?

Question

I had wrist surgery two weeks ago. I had a cysts on one of the bones in my wrist so they went in and removed it, and the doctor also said that i have early stage of arthritis, would it be ok if i take tyenol for arthritis? i'm still in pain from surgery but i have the pain from arthritis in my other wrist. My doctor has started me on any type of arthritis medicen. that's something were supposed to talk about when i got back next month. i just cant stand the pain anymore. thanks

Answer 1

they have a tylenol especially for arthritis. it is called tylenol arthritis. =) it is strong and should help with the pain. you could also put magnetic bracelets on. the magnetic field helps with arthritis and circulation of blood.

Answer 2

Contact your doctor or someone who studied medicine. If you can't, try asking over the counter. The people in the drugstore know those sort of stuff.

Answer 3

Motrin IB

Eat bananas for the potassium

Drink 6 Gatorades or Powerades a day

Answer 4

would be fine to  take

Answer 5

You are best off taking motrin or ibuprofen for the swelling if it does not interfere with other medications!

Answer 6

im sure it will help both pains

Answer 7

It greatly depends on the type of medication you are taking at this time for the pain from the surgery.  A lot of the pain medication has Tylenol already in it and you may be taking to much Tylenol.  I would try to make it until you are able to call the doctor and get his idea what would be ok to take.  He knowes your medication and what it is buffered with.  You may try ice packs to help with the pain.  I am sorry that I am not much help but you do not want to take to much of the wrong medication and have more problems in the future.  My best wishes are with you.

Answer 8

I had surgery too. I would use aleve and ibuprofen. Tylenol just did it temp. but Aleve really helped. Just get alot of rest and do exercises to make your wrist stronger

Answer 9

I AM A NURSE AND THE MOST COMMON THING THEY PRESCRIBE FOR SOME THINGS LIKE THAT IS MOTRIN TAKE 4 200MG TABS THREE TIMES A DAY IT WILL EQUAL THE DOSAGE YOU WOULD GET A PRESCRIPTION FOR. AND MAKE SURE YOU TELL YOUR DOCTOR THAT THE MEDICATION IS NOT STRONG ENOUGH TO CONTROL THE PAIN CALL HIS OFFICE AND ASK TO SPEAK TO HIS NURSE OR A OFFICE NURSE LET THEM KNOW THE PAIN IS TO BAD AND THEY WILL GIVE YOU SOMETHING STRONGER MAKE SURE YOU START THE MOTRIN AND TELL THEM YOU ARE ALREADY TAKEN MOTRIN. HOPE THIS HELPS
