Medications

You may have some pain. Your doctor may give you a prescription for pain medication. This should be taken as directed. If it does not help the pain, contact your doctor. If your doctor does not prescribe anything for pain, then you may take a nonprescription, non-aspirin pain medication such as Tylenol or Advil. Please be sure to follow directions on the label. Take all pain medication with some food to prevent upset stomach. Continue with your regular medications unless instructed otherwise by your doctor or nurse. Do not restart blood thinners or aspirin until after checking with your doctor.
