A: You will likely require some form of pain medication for up to 3 months. Initially, you will be on a strong oral pain medication (such as a narcotic). Most people are able to wean off of their strong pain medication after a month and switch to an over-the- counter pain medication (such as acetaminophen or ibuprofen).
If you are on Coumadin (warfarin), avoid taking any NSAIDs (e.g. aspirin, ibuprofen, Advil, Motrin, Aleve and Naprosyn) without first consulting with your physician.
