  ABSTRACT: 30 year old female now para 1 presented to the Emergency Department with nausea, vomiting, and abdominal pain 6 days after an uncomplicated primary cesarean delivery. She did not respond to conservative management and underwent exploratory laparotomy for worsening pain, pneumoperitoneum and intraabdominal fluid collections. Gastric perforations required repair via gastrojejunostomy. Postoperative course was unremarkable. The anti-opioid campaign has altered the approach to postoperative pain management in both positive and negative ways. It has sparked new interest in alternative approaches to postoperative pain management, which include an increased role for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs). We present a case of a woman who had a significant complication due to the reliance of non-opioid pain medications after cesarean delivery.
