Message: [QUOTE="boba, post: 3243979, member: 1556"] [USER=181]@Hans Sprungfeld[/USER]: Advil (ibuprofen) or naproxen are [B][U]NOT RECOMMENDED[/U][/B] after hernia surgery (or any other surgery) as they act as blood "thinners." Actually they impair platelet accumulation and will encourage seepage from the wounds. There is a reason that acetaminophen is used in conjunction with the various opioid opioid-like pain relievers, and that is the reason. Google sepsis, look up how hard it is to treat and the usual outcome. Then consider that you could easily develop sepsis taking ibuprofen or naproxen after hernia surgery. [U]Listen to your doctor - health care provider in regards to medications etc. and ignore, discard, and burn with fire any blithering your receive here.[/U] Yeah these boneheads may have gone through this before and survived, but that may have been luck or the heroic efforts of others working to save their silly butts. Yeah, I can tell you having my scrotum packed with intestines and testicles was bothersome, yes the surgery was uncomplicated and "routine," but one thing I will not do is give health care advice, and that's because I work adjacent to health care providers. They know their job and it is to keep you alive. Let them do their job unimpeded. [/QUOTE]
