Avatar f tn Hi everyone :) My Dad recently had a stroke, during which time they found occlusion in one of his legs, causing foot pain. He's currently on Oxycodone. But I'm looking for a better pain management option(s) for him. From what I've been able to ascertain, Vicodin, Celebrex, Darvo- or Percocet have seemed viable options. Can anyone share their opinions on this??? Thanks so much!
Avatar f tn Okay, so, I'm not sure if this is exactly the right place to go, but I found this website off a search engine and found some of the answers to be helpful. I am 20 years old, and I do not abuse drugs. I have, however, had a generous number of prescription pain medications in the past few months. Mainly, for oral surgery, as I had an impacted wisdom tooth that was infected. My oral surgery was a little over a week ago.
Avatar n tn Primary stabbing headaches are short, stabbing, extremely intense headaches that lasts between five and 30 seconds anywhere on the head. The pain can also seem to occur in or behind the ear. People who experience Ice pick headaches are usually those who have migraine disease, or another head pain disorder. This is difficult to treat because the pain is so brief and it's gone before the patient can even take medication.

Avatar f tn Do everything Jerry said. He did give you great advice and I think if you do these things everything is going to be alright. Yes, they do put all prescriptions on one or two pages now. It's not like it used to be where you would get one for every single script. Your regular pharmacist was not the one who filled them. And why in the world do these DRs think any of us would ever sell our medications?!!!

Avatar f tn After reading about pain management during labor I have decided to not have any medication unless it is absolutely necessary. However, I am still back and forth about an epidural. What is everyone's opinions or experiences with it? Trying to weigh the pros and cons.
Avatar f tn I have an infertility doctor who I know is wonderful with fertility drugs and IVF, but the pain management has been poor. Vicodin helps a lot, however, I cannot find anyone to prescribe it for me on a regular basis because it is addictive. I take a half of Vicodin 2 times a day. I dont think thats a problem, and it gives me a better quality life. What is Ponstel?
Avatar f tn Today the pain is bringing me to tears and I was just hoping that I could get some ideas on other options of pain management? I need some help and the doctors around here have been pretty stumped on what I should do. Any suggestions would help!

539841 tn?1235394722 The subject? Pain management. I am not going to be melodramatic, just honest- I have nothing to gain to be anything other than this. I am dying. We all are, right? Well maybe mine is just coming a little faster than others. This is the thing. My son is young still at 11. I want to enjoy him and my wife as much as I can. To do this it requires pain killers of the HEAVY variety.
Avatar n tn t do much as far as alternative pain management options. I would research other options and avoid the pain management clinics (if you can).

3055553 tn?1346558533 Hi Codielou I am in the UK and unfortunately endo is very badly managed over here. It's an effort just to get a diagnosis so pain management is unheard of! I am also allergic to paracetamol and codine so the only pain killer I can take is Ibroprofen and I am currently over dosing on them.
Avatar m tn I have two diss located dics, stenoisis, arthritis and bone spurs, i am in EXTREME pain, I have been seeing a pain management doc for a year, this specific doc, i did not want, yet the office keeps giving him to me, he has NO compasion, thinks everyone is a drug addict...seeking another, ask him about a break through med, then wanted to take me off the med that works. a previous doc has me on soma to control the muscle spazms.
Avatar f tn Are you referring to head pain, neck pain, or pain somewhere else? For me, pre-op, nothing worked. I had headaches that would wake me up every couple of hours. Now that I'm post-op, I prop myself up on the couch with my Chiari Zipperhead pillow and that seems to help my pain meds work. The pillow is great (I had it pre-op, too) because it has filling you can add or take out.
Avatar n tn I am taking methdone and hydrocodone compound for pain management. I need better pain control, does anyone have any knowledge on which one would be safer to increase before I ask my doctor. I am asking for opinions.
