I’m high risk per family history for CV disease. Prior to major abdominal surgery, I took 2400-3200 mg. ibuprofen for abdominal pain and headaches. After second major abd surgery, the surgeon prescribed IV ketorolac (sp?) or Toradol around the clock. I required no narcotics after that surgery and didn’t have an ileus, sepsis, or any of the other complications I had after the first surgery.
I’m old and have no aches or pains; no headaches, either.
It seems like there are a lot of factors involved here. I wouldn’t have been able to work had it not been for ibuprofen.
Now I don’t take pain meds.
