Oops! Accidentally took Motrin too early after TT + Hernia surgery.

June 2, 2016
Asked By:VitalinaAlexandra in Allen, TX

I am starting to panic because I needed to get off of prescription pain killers due to nausea and took Motrin 10 days post TT with muscle repair + hernia surgery. I took 2 pills at about 12pm and 2 pills at about 4 pm. Anything I should watch out for? I have what I think is normal swelling in the abdomen, discomfort wearing the binder, still one drain in, but otherwise everything checked out ok at my 1 week follow-up. Thanks!
