Common Questions and Answers about Pain relief medications
pain
As you know Meloxicam (Common Brand Name, Mobic) and Ibuprofen are NSAIDs. Each can be effective in reducing pain and inflammation. As with all medications, their effectiveness often depends on an individual's reaction (metabolism).
That being said I have found some research on the two which actually indicates that Ibuprofen is lightly more effective for most ppl. There may be conflicting research/studies - I can't locate it.
This is an option but not necessary as there are other pain medications you can use to control your pain. There are alot of CP patients that do go off of their medications for a period of time so they will work better when they begin taking them again but as I said this is not something you need to do but of course you can. If you do this your pain will be worse as the pain is not being controlled any at that point.

Hi,
Take some OTC pain relief medications for the pain. You need to see your doctor or breast specialist at the earliest.
Go to the ER if the pain is too much and does not respond to warm compresses and local application of analgesic creams and OTC pain relief medications.
Let us know if you have any doubts and keep us posted on how you are doing and what your doctor has advised.
Hope this helps.
Good luck.
This may cause overdose depending on your body stature and weight. Overdosing of narcotic pain medications can be serious. Please consult your pain medication doctor or go to ER for pain relief. Take care!

You can have a GP put you on these medications with out a diagnosis. Narcotics do not work as well on MS pain. My MS specialist sent me to a pain clinic.
Currently I am on Neurontin 1200 mg a day, Soma 300 mg a day, Midrin prn for the really bad headaches and Lortab at night for pain. I do not like to take meds and honestly these don't take the pain completely away. I haven't had surgery yet, still seeking out opinions. I have been through 2 rounds of PT, but this was before I knew I had Chiari. The first round was hurtful to me as they did mechanical traction and made my symptoms worse.
However, persistent or recurring cases are likely to require treatment which depends on the type and severity of the infection. Over-the-counter pain medications such as ibuprofen or paracetamol may help. Oral antibiotic may also be prescribed to prevent infection.
Take care and keep us posted.

The plain truth of the matter is, NO good pain management doctor is just going to prescribe pain meds for anyone without first doing a series of tests and evaluations to see what their problem is.
I was wondering if anyone knew what kind of
I saw my primary care physician on Wednesday and got some surprising news. Ladies look into all the medications that you are currently taking. I too was experiencing pain in my arms, shoulders and legs that felt as if I had been working out for days. When I spoke to my doctor about this he told me that the medicine I was taking for my Cholesterol, Lipitor, was known for muscle pain. Great to know I spent $70 plus each month to make myself hurt a little more.
I have been on several medications trying to keep these symptoms in check ... prozac, buspar, elavil, topamax, Trileptal, and I've had immune globulin IV treatments. The last three meds worked for a while, but not anymore. Steroids cause hysteria in me. Since stress is a trigger (during a flare up) my neurologist wants to try buspar. Have not done that yet.
My sister is completely bedridden with polyneuropathy.
When this gets bad, even my clothes irritate my body and I shake.
I hope everyone had a great holiday. Ours was wonderful. I am also feeling a lot better. I have been switched to Oxycontin 10mg. These seem to be helping a great deal. Yesterday, I went ALL DAY and didn't have to take anything in addition to keep the pain under control. My Dr told me to take the percocet for breakthrough pain and I am still taking Lyrica 150mg three times a day.
NO! Dogs can't metabolize ibuprofen (advil). You can give him tylenol for a short time, but he will be much better off with an anti-inflammatory from your vet.
I had two dogs that ended up with severe arthritis. The first took rimadyl daily for 5 of his 13.5 years due to hip displaysia. The last couple of years we switched to deramaxx when the symptoms got more severe. BIG difference with the deramaxx, but it's more expensive.
My problem was that the tension in the small muscles of the neck and head, the massiter muscles, suboccipitals, etc., became so tight that, not only did I have pain in my upper back and neck, but I also had these pounding headaches. The first 6 or 7 discs of my vertabre were out of alignment as well.
Over several months Iwe did traction, (which helped aLOT), and my PT would massage the small muscles that were causing such major pain.
Well I had been on and off different pain medications for another reason and after one doctor had told me to use Advil, 3 pills 3 times a day, after about 5 days of doing that I had pretty bad stomach bleeding/pain. It may have just been the interaction with the other medication tat I had been on prior to using Advil, but it's made me nervous to use Advil again. I know Advil is more hard on the stomach, while Tylenol is more hard on the liver.
