Brief summary: Investigating the effect of multimodal pain treatment after hernia repair

Detailed description: This is a randomized, non-blinded study comparing the effects of multimodal pain management (ibuprofen, tylenol, and narcotics/oxycodone as needed) for relief of post-operative pain in patients who undergo hernia repair. Patients who present for elective hernia surgery will be randomized in a 1:1 fashion by pre-operative pain score into a multimodal pain treatment group or conventional opiod treatment group for post-operative pain management. They will be followed up after their surgery to evaluate their pain scores and narcotic use.

Eligibility criteria: Inclusion Criteria:

* Healthy adult patients \>18 years of age to 90 years of age who are eligible for a hernia repair (ventral or inguinal) by a surgeon in the Medical Faculty Associates Department of General Surgery at the George Washington University Hospital.

Exclusion Criteria:

* Patients with allergies to sulfa or any of the medications being evaluated in this study (ibuprofen, tylenol, oxycodone)
* patients with a history of gastric ulcer or gastrointestinal bleeding
* patients with kidney disease
* patients with cardiovascular disease
* patients with a co-morbid condition that would prohibit them from taking narcotics
* patients with known or suspected narcotic abuse
* patients who do not wish to participate

Primary outcomes:
measure: Post operative pain scores at rest and during movement
timeFrame: 1-14 days after surgery
Secondary outcomes:
measure: Narcotic use
timeFrame: 1-14 days after surgery
Other outcomes:
Locations:
city: Washington
