Post Spinal Fusion

2018-01-03 01:15:22
I had a spinal fusion about a month ago and I’m not supposed to take Advil or naproxen since they are anti flammatories and would not help my fusion which relies on that for the process. However, I just got my period and the cramps are terrible and normally I take Advil or naproxen but what should I take instead?
