    Hi everyone, what painkillers were you given to take home? I’ve been given paracetamol, ibroprufen and an antibiotic. Is this right? I had codine in the hospital which worked great but I wasn’t given any to take home. I had a high pain tolerance but am aching and sore.

    Many thanks

    I was given cocodamol and an antibiotic but the codeine in the cocodamol wasn’t agreeing with me, I was throwing up all day every day so I came off everything! Paracetamol and ibuprofen work really really well together so long as you take them with food cos ibuprofen can give you stomach ulcers if you take them on an empty stomach. Cut a long story short I was just taking paracetamol as I was hardly eating so couldn’t take the ibuprofen 🙂

    Hi, I got exactly the same as you- antibiotics, strong ibuprofen and strong paracetamol.
    I bought some paracetamol& co-codamol in one, and replaced the normal paracetamol dozes with that before bed, BUT it have me awful tremors so I only took it twice.
    As a tip though, my husband set the alarms for each dosage on his mobile, so it rang to remind every time I needed to take my meds:) it worked a treat.

    That’s a good tip. I will get hubby to set his alarm. I don’t know why I just assumed I would get stronger painkillers. I thought I would cope better with the pain then this-i even gave birth with only gas and air so thought this would be nothing! Hope the pain goes soon X
