If you are allowed to take NSAIDS, such as ibuprofen, alleve, excedrin, naproxen and the like, those work very well. You can also use heating pads, or warm towels over sore areas, and this provides great relief for many patients.
I recommend Tylenol and Advil. Very rarely narcotics.
Anti-inflammatories such as Ibuprofen and Naproxen can help. Narcotics such as codeine and hydrocodone may be prescribed by your surgeon. Muscle relaxants may be of benefit. Heat and cold over the area can help as well.
Tylenol and Aleve or Motrin as permitted by Surgeon. May start Acupuncture with Moxibustion.
