Did you get pain meds after D&amp;C??

CMM05 · September 2008

Hi Ladies- I had my D&C yesterday.....procedure was easy, but I had SEVERE cramping all last night and am still having today and I don't feel that they prepared me for this well enough. My OB did not give me any pain meds b/c he told my DH that usually the cramps aren't that severe?? I was pissed. Luckily my mom had some at home so I took some of hers b/c I wouldn't have made it through the night last night without them. I already have a call into the doc to get my own.... Just wondering if they gave you any after your D&C????

i was given darvocet but didn't really need them. my cramping never was that bad. ionly took it the first couple of nights so i could get some sleep. the only time i hurt was when i would get up and try and do things. just take it easy for the next few days.

I am so sorry for your loss, I too had a D & C last wednesday and yes they gave me a prescriptions for motrin and percocet. They definately should have given you something. The cramping will come and go and I am actually still taking the extra strength motrin (600mg). I would definately call your doctor and tell them you need something and in the mean time take 3 motrin to take the edge off.

I was given a script for motrin, although I did not fill it.

I was given motrin 800 and i believe a Rx for percoet that I didn't fill.

I wasn't given a prescription, but I also didn't need any. I'm sorry you're having so much cramping.

I was given perkocet and motrin 600 but never really needed them.

I was given a prescription for tylenol 3 this time. I have not had much cramping with the D&C though. I used it the first few days and then stopped and just took extra strength motrin. I would call your dr. Every dr. is different but if you are in pain you should be able to take something.

i got a scrip for percocet and absolutely needed it! i am so sorry you were/are in pain.

I am so sorry. Shame your OB!!!! Who is he/she to say that the cramps aren't that severe?! My OB gave me a rx for Percocet and Ibuprofen after my D & E. I took both (Percocet one or two times only) and they both helped tremendously! Good luck and hope the cramping has subsided for you.

My ob gave me an rx for vicaden (sp?). I didn't use it, just a heating pad and I think I took some motrin after taking those pills to make your uterus contract more.

I'm sorry
