Hi ladies,

You have been so helpful to me before so I am back with another question. I have a herniated disc in my back and my doctors are now talking surgery. Up until now, I have avoided anti-inflammatories because it is my understanding that there aren't any I can take on a regular basis while bfing. However, now that we're talking surgery, I feel like I need to explore all my non-surgical options before going under the knife.

Are there any anti-inflammatories I can take while bfing? What are the risks if I take these meds and continue bfing? I haven't been able to find anything regarding the risks. My doctor prescribed 500mg Naproxen twice a day with the understanding that I will start taking it once I've weaned her. Trouble is, I tried to give her formula yesterday (and formula combined with ebm) and she hated it. Same thing today. I don't really want to stop bfing, but I am in a lot of pain and I'm really not going to be able to make it much longer without some sort of pain relief. Vicodin is not cutting it.

TIA for any advice!
