Meds after D&C

Meds after D&C

Today I had a D&C performed due to a missed miscarriage.  I am having some pain trying to sleep and they gave me a prescription for Vicodin.  I'd prefer not to take something that strong but never asked if I could take IB Profen.  I tried tylenol but it hasn't helped for the pain.  Anyone know what else may be good and safe to take in the same day?

I wish I could give advice. In my experience, I've always had to use vicodin or morphine to dull pain. (I have a super high tolerance for anything, so I usually have to grin and bear it) I would call your doctor and see if there's anything you might be able to use other than the script they gave you.

You can split the pill in half and only take it half strength.  That's what I always do with Vicodin if I'm prescribed it -- doctors seem not to realize that some people don't need the super strength stuff but can get by with a lower dose.
