If you managed the c-sect with otc meds, then they will probably do you for EA recovery. It is true that the pain is all about cramping. Alternating ibuprofen and acetaminophen usually works quite well - as long as you can keep the cramps from developing, you can keep the pain at bay. The first 48 hrs are usually the worst, pain wise.

Good luck with it.
