My DM has had an operation and has been given tramadol and ibuprofen for the pain. She has already been taking tramadol long term. It is all still painful so I asked if she was able to take paracetamol as well as ibuprofen - I thought you could although not sure about paracetamol and tramadol although if I remember rightly my doctor told me I could. Apparently she can't as she is on the highest dosage of ibuprofen.
Is this right? She tends not to listen to what she has been told so could possibly have misunderstood. I live to far away to sort out in person.
Before anyone says I shouldn't be taking anyone's advice here I wasn't planning to tell her to go ahead on the basis of answers here but depending on the answers on here I was going to tell her to speak to the doctor
Thanks
