Advil after tkr

Posted by katclub @katclub, May 4, 2019

I’m at 4 weeks with tkr, my doctor said to take aspirin once day for 6 weeks. I miss my Advil for other arthritis pain, he said I could take it but with nothing else, and he warned me it can slow bone healing and thin the blood more.
I feel like I’m stuck between a rock and a hard place. I wouldn’t take it daily but would like it for just a few days to help discomfort. Thanks

Come to Hershey's Chocolate World in Hershey, PA for Hershettes (like M&Ms). May work better to lighten pain. LOL

I miss Advil too. Plus I’ve developed an implant pain or allergy when it’s cold and it is so painful I can’t stand it. The PA says it will go away but it hasn’t for over a week.
