[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]NSAID allergies sure is a red flag. It's even flagged in the medical literature with quotes around it.  I developed the allergy when I took too much aspirin back in the day because doctors thought my major migraines were fake.  Their solution was to take hot baths and go for walks.  This was in the years before Imitrex came on the scene and migraine patients were brought into the mainstream.

So my husband, neighbour and myself all had dental implant surgery with sinus lifts which causes major post op swelling.  They were prescribed painkillers and NSAIDS to keep swelling down.  Because I am red flagged I was given nothing so had to just use hot and cold compresses to try to keep the swelling down and just wait out the pain.

I fully expect when my osteoarthritis gets too bad I will have to choose medical aid in dying.  I live in Canada where 2 women have been "put down" because of arthritis so far.    [/quote]
I have an NSAID allergy and have never been “red flagged”. I also had an implant this year and was given a steroid pack and a few days of percocet. I also had a csection 2 years ago and was given percocet.

Where are you reading that those with NSAID allergies are “red flagged”?[/quote]
