    you’re not suppose to take paracetamol when you are already taking cocodamol as cocodamol has already the maximum dosage of paracetamol in it, if you want pain relief you can definitely take ibufropen together with cocodamol…

    the reason why everyone feels bloated and constipated for a few days after surgery is not only because of the medications they give you but also because of the anaesthesia used in surgery, the anaesthesia wreaks havoc in your body system causing it not to function well so digesting of food is quite hard, after having an op try to walk around and dont just lie down, you need to activate your system once again so you need to try to walk about without straining yourself :)
