A member asked:
I had r. lateral epicondylar release with tendon repair 7.5 weeks ago. can i take ibuprofen now? after surgery doc said tylenol (acetaminophen) but that's not helping

Yes: U may want call your surgeon's office and speak w/ his / her nurse but i see no reason @ this point postoperatively why u cannot take Ibuprofen . Remember "tennis elbow" surgery can take some time to completely recover from(3 -4 months).Success rate after tennis elbow release is~ 70-80%.
