Suggest Remedies For Pain In Upper Back Area Post Surgery
I had an emergency c-section two weeks ago because my son was breech when I went into labor. I stopped taking the 800 mg motrin for pain around the incision area a couple days ago and then started having upper back pain, around the area between my shoulder blades. It seems tocome and go and is severe at times. Could this be related to the surgery? Is there anything besides motrin/Tylenol to alleviate the pain?

Hello,
If you are breastfeeding your baby it would be preferable to use only Paracetamol.
If you are not breastfeeding him you can take all types of anti-inflammatory drugs such advil or naproxen etc.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
