Re: A few questions...LIZA

Hello Liza, wecome to the group .

I had an IV med given through an IV pump after surgery that was like

Ibuprophen, called Toradol. It was wonderful for my aching joints

after being on the operating table. They gave me a shot of it in the

IV port too just before I had to get up for a walk. It makes you

pleasantly sedated for a few moments, but it relaxed any anxiety I

had in thinking I had to get up with pain. Ask your doctor about

Toradol as part of your post-op meds. It is also in pill form, but

that can't be taken for more than a few days because of the intense

stomach irritation.
