Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 I am about 3 and half weeks post op and i am still having trouble sleeping and having " healing pains " that are sharp quick pains over and over again where nerves are reconnecting and my stitches that are left in my mouth sometimes hurt when i move my mouth the wrong way. Has anyone tried Tylenol PM? Does it work? If it doesn't is there anything else to take a night to help sleep without pain? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 19, 2004 Report Share Posted July 19, 2004 My wife sometimes takes that when she's a bit sleepless due to preoccupation with work, etc. It seems to work for her. If it's pain that's keeping you awake the Tylenol PM might work fine. Also an Advil (Ibuprofen) works for me. Also if it's like mouth pain (stitches, irritations, etc.) then you might try some Anbesol on the areas that hurt. It will take the pain away long enough for you to get to sleep.

Guest guest Posted July 20, 2004 Report Share Posted July 20, 2004 Hi, I'm 13 days post-op, I've been using Tylenol Pm since I went off the pain meds. I don't use it every night, but if I toss and turn for more thatn an hour I take some. It works great, I sleep 8 hours straight through and thwy say it is non-addictive. I did not take it last night and had no porblem sleeping so I tend to believe that, and the fact that it is OTC. You may want to try one with along with a regular tylenol and see what happens. WHy take 2 if you do not need them.
