Type of pain medication for after breast reduction?

October 4, 2017
Asked By:JBS21 in Fresno, CA

My doctor has asked me if I have a preference for the type of pain medication to take after my breast reduction surgery. I've never had any type of surgery and I've never taken any type of narcotics. I do have a very weak stomach and tend to get nauseous easily. Any recommendations for types of medications for me to take to relieve the pain that won't make me ill/totally out of it? I will have help for about two weeks but I do have children.
