[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Don’t be a baby. Pain is temporary. Tylenol is sufficient. [/quote]

Are you the maternity ward nurse that has been telling this to all the c-section moms?[/quote]

Can only speak for myself, but I was appalled at how hard they pushed Oxy after my c-section, even after I told them Tylenol was all I wanted.[/quote]

1. Because as PP said, pain meds don't just reduce your pain - they also reduce inflammation, etc. Not just steroids, but all non-steroids as well. If you don't want steroids, you should still take something.

2. Because different people have different body compositions, different surgical experiences, and different pain sensations!!!

3. It's horrific to shame some patients for feeling more pain than others. If a woman has endometriosis or ovarian cysts, for example, the lower abdominal area might be EXTREMELY SENSITIVE. I have both, and I need to be very careful about invasive exams or interventions in that area. But when I had thyroid surgery (neck), I didn't need steroid pain meds afterward.
