Applying ice can help with swelling, as well as Tylenol for discomfort. With abdominal surgery you may want to limit taking ibuprofen or Aleve.
More important is during Surgery controls post Surgery pain. During Surgery nerve blocks and ketamine infsuion decreases post op pain. Post-op is too late. Post-op pain control is Acupuncture, Massage and TENS unit or red light therapy.
