I dont see where I could have but I will look. If I dont see it.. this is something I will for sure be pointing out as that is something I would of avoided all together, natually.  Thank you for the information.. this is why its so important for us all to share and help others. |
I think what may happen sometimes is that the doctor tells their patient NO NSAIDs.....but most patients don't have any idea what drugs are considered NSAIDs. You hear so much about Motrin or Ibuprofen but you have to realize that many over-the-counter meds have Ibuprofen in them...Aleve being one of those. I really think all surgeons should be providing a list of over-the-counter and prescription meds that fall under the NSAIDs catagory. It is very important info!
