Pain relief after c section?

I took ibuprofen and paracetamol religiously every couple of hours. I set alarms to take it. I felt awful if I didn't. I was told if you are still in a lot of pain and need something else to book a gp appointment, which is extremely annoying, I know. X

I didn’t take anything but, i was discharged with ibuprofen & co codamol, both of these you can just buy over the counter, you could also get GP to prescribe but tbh i don’t think the prescribed dose is much higher than pharmacy

First was paracetamol and ibuprofen but was discharged with dihydrocodine. Second i took paracetamol, ibuprofen, oral morphine, dihydrocodine. My third was mainly paracetamol and ibuprofen but took oral morphine once but felt like my back was burning and has issues

I got paracetamol + ibuprofen and dihydrocodeine. I was discharged with the dihydrocodeine, took them for 2 days after my midwife informed me that these cause constipation. However, the ibuprofen + paracetamol done their magic and was off any painkillers within a week or so-didn't have any pain threshold back then 🤡

Discharged with dihydrocodine
Took regular paracetamol
Laxatives also

I was discharged with dihydracodine.
