I had rhinoplasty exactly 3 weeks ago & I have been very careful to not have any pain killers,besides the one prescribed by my surgeonthe few days post-op.I suffer from VERY painful menstrul cramping so during the week of my period I usually have 1000mg or more Ibuprofen tablets every day(perscribed by my gyno).I am quite thin & normal pills can impact me more.Will the high dosage of this impact my nose healing?I don't want to hurt my results,but I'm in pain:(
