Can I take NSAIDS (Advil, ibuprofen, Aleve, aspirin) after surgery?

We recommend waiting 4 weeks after surgery to take any NSAIDS. If you have a headache, you can take OTC Tylenol. If you have chronic pain, we recommend consulting with your pain management physician to start a long-term pain management solution. NSAIDs are fine to use short-term 4 weeks after surgery.
