Advil after surgery
I had a laminectamy feb 18th. I still have some discomfort. I did wait for 8 months so I am sure the nerve is in need of time to heal. My question is that I take two advils a day about 12hrs apart and that gives me complete relief. Are there any long term effects of taking advil like this? Over time I hope to increase the intervals to eventually 1 every 24 hrs and then none. Fingers crossed. Does anyone know if this can have a harmfull effect on me?

JIMMY

Re: Advil after surgery
The dosage you are taking should be safe. Long term use can lead to stomach problems though. I'm glad you are doing so well after your surgery!

Re: Advil after surgery
You really should check with your doctor about taking Advil. NSAIDS have been shown to slow down the fusion rate after surgery. I was told to steer clear of them, except for occasional use, like a couple of times a week.
