Does Motrin And Aspirin Increase Bleeding During Surgery As The Doctor Has Advised To Stop The Medication Before Surgery?
I AM HAVIG SURGERY AS TOLD TO STOP MY MOTRIN, aspirin, but e and so forth can I take devices n 100 does it contains anything that will thin MY blood or increase my bleeding during surgery. As TOLD could take Tylenol but this does nothing for arthritic pain

yes motrin, aspirin both increase your risk of bleeding during surgery, and it is advisable to stop them before any elective procedure.
Tylenol is ok as it does not cause bleeding. if the pain is not tolerable despite tylenol use, you may need to ask your physician to prescribe stronger medications (which require a prescription) such as codeine, tramadol, etc.
hope that helps
