I would think not. If it helped pain he main not need pain meds.

Likely no problem: While the dose your husband took is above the recommended dose, there’s little cause for concern if he acts and feels no differently than before. Side effects to watch for would be stomach upset and possibly being more prone to bleeding. The full list of symptoms is too numerous to describe, but pay closer attention to where he had the operation and to what the surgeon told you to watch for.
