Avatar n tn will the fillers and binding agents in vicodin stay in your system if snorted even if has been 26 months since you did this?
Avatar n tn NOW THE DR ORDERED AN MRI OF BACK AND HIP, SHE ORDERED THE VICODIN, NAPROXAN I TO 2 TIMES A DAY, AND PREDNISONE, 6 A DAY FOR 5 DAYS THEN 4 THEN 2 AND ONDOWN ,FOR A TOTAL OF 12 DAYS. PAIN IS STILL THERE, ESPECIALLY WHEN I SIT OR LAY FOR TOO LONG, OR GO FOR A LONG DRIVE. MAYBE ITS A SCIATICA PROBLEM ? OR A PINCHED NERVE? I DO HAVE SPINAL STENOSIS, AND SOME TYPE OF ARTHRITIS. ANYWAY, GOT TO GO TAKE MY MEDICINE WITH SOME FOOD.
Avatar f tn m currently on mobic, wellbutrin, trazadone, valium, and vicodin as needed. Lately I have been using more vicodin as that is the only drug that is working. I live with pain constantly all day. Can anyone suggest anything. I am seeing my doctor this week. Thank you.
1057595 tn?1257898338 g that there was not injury to the valves or epicaridal arteries then he should place her on a regiment of prednisone to improve the inflammation and possibly decrease her pain. I would suggest and echocardiogram to assess her LV ejection fraction, valvular function and to evaluate her for the presence of an effusion.
Avatar m tn Sorry if these seems like I'm rambling, but quite nervous, so I will try to make as much sense as I can: (Posted earlier) About 2 mos ago- Woke up at night with severe left arm pain as well as pectoral & tricep muscle spasms. Went to PCP (who is a DO) diagnosed with cervicalgia. X-ray showed c3-c4 disease (R>L). Put on Prednisone & Vicoden ES. 2 Weeks later no improvement - MRI ordered & oral prednisone & Vicodin ES refilled.
537435 tn?1248712092 By Friday night, the pain was intensifying and I was having lightning flashes across my cheek and some numbness and tingling. I went to the walk-in medical clinic saturday morning. I thought that inflammation or something with my TMJ might be irritating a nerve. The doctor agreed and suggested that rest, ibuprofen and perhaps some valium would help if it was a muscle spasm causing the issues.
Avatar m tn Hello (new to forum - thank you in advance). 39 year old Male. Active. Computer Software Sales. I have left arm pain, weakness, numbness for approx 1 month. Woke up at night with severe left arm pain as well as pectoral & tricep muscle spasms (thought I was having cardiac symptoms). Went to FP (who is a DO) diagnosed with cervicalgia. X-ray showed c3-c4 disease (R>L). Put on prednisone & Vicoden ES.
Avatar f tn They checked for lupus, my rheumatoid factor, several organ function tests, a complete blood count and a metabolic panel. They started me with Vicodin but it started to give me headaches so I got switched to darvocet which didn't work at all. Finally vicoprofen 7.5 w/ 200 mg IB (every 6 hours) worked without headaches and sometimes take an extra ibuprofen or 2 with it. I was then referred to a rheumatologist who ran more tests.
455051 tn?1255826518 Well Tuesday I started coughing alot and felt bad and by Friday my chest, abdomen, shoulders, back and neck were so sore and tight and I was gasping for air and non stop coughing, I could not sleep so my dad and me went to the hospital and they said that I have Bronchitis and that I was dehydrated. So at the hospital they gave me a breathing treatment, saylene and a pain pill for the pain in my neck, shoulders, back and abdomen.
370181 tn?1595629445 I discussed options with my R-doc and I told him that I would like to try Vicodin for three months and see if that helps. A friend of mine with severe RA takes nothing but Vicodin, has taken it for about 6 years now and absolutely swears by it. She has been on virtually the same dose all those years, only upping the dose during a bad flare.
785373 tn?1236328403 Oh and I forgot, Vicodin does work anymore, oxcydone does'nt work anymore either. alieve does nothing. There is this one type of pain that no medicine seems to take away.
Avatar m tn 4 months ago I began a therapy with prednisone (25 mg per day) and one month lather I got tested for hiv 1-2, the result hopefully was negative and all my blood exams were normal (but antibodies against HBV positive, without virus). My doctors said me that hiv is not a problem for me. However i began to worry again because it was been told me that prednisone is an immunosupressant and I fear that it could hide my hiv antibodies. What do you think about? Sould I have to get another test?
Avatar f tn While I was there, they gave me an iv with fluids, 60mg of prednisone, and because my hives were painful and did not itch they gave me 20mg of percocet. With my fever and generally feeling of being out of it, I did not tell them I am a addict, not to mention my husband was there and he doesn't know of the situation. Anyways, I am worried how I will feel tomorrow with the percocet being in my system. Am I going to feel any type of withdrawl? Do I have to start my ticker over?
Avatar n tn I would not be concerned about someone taking prednisone having sex and passing it to their partner. Are you allergic to prednisone for why you are asking?
Avatar f tn gov/pubmed/114570 Abstract The effect of exogenous prednisone on serum thyrotropin (TSH), thyroxine (T4), and triiodothyronine (T3) concentrations was investigated in four patients with non-functioning thyroid glands receiving T4 replacement therapy. Orally administered prednisone, in a dose of 20 mg each day for nine days, resulted in a significant decrease in mean serum TSH levels (p less than 0.01) without significant changes in levels of serum T4, T3, and thyroxine binding globulin (TBG).
3061629 tn?1405458990 I took prednisone 60mg plus 2 steroid dose packs plus a short acting and long acting steroid injection in the past 6 weeks. I have been off all steroids x 3 weeks and am suffering from weakness, tremors, shaking inside and out, feelings of anxiety, shortness of breath, muscle cramps in my legs and feet and extreme lethargy. I'm thinking this must be an adrenal issue. Has anyone had these symptoms after prednisone? I am so anxious and shaky from mid morning until late afternoon.
Avatar m tn We get many questions about the possibility of medications, and particularly steroid medications like prednisone, interfering with the accuracy of HIV tests. This is rarely a problem.
Avatar f tn s just that by picking your specialist you very often pick your diagnosis and treatment, and unnecessary surgeries are unfortunately a common and well-documented phenomenon. I would recommend seeing a good musculoskeletal physiotherapist. If this is a nerve compression there are two most likely causes; a locked vertebral facet or a muscle contracture, either of which is easily solved without the need for surgery etc.
1150481 tn?1270490136 But since my menstruation I have been having my periods like clockwork and y dint it come the first month i tuk prednisone? Please advice if it can cause changes. Now my periods are regular also I have reduced the dose to 7.5mg. I am ttcing for almost 6 months now. I am wondering how long can I be on 7.5mg of prednisone. How long is it safe? considering the horrible side effects.
Avatar f tn Read all the side effects of prednisone, it might be that it is related to the prednisone or prednisone is causing the water retension to be worse... just a thought. Keep us posted of your experience ok?? It might be helpful for all of us that have AIH for future reference and to compare our experiences. Best Wishes!
902019 tn?1249861414 Maxing out at 200mg per day of Imuran with 400mg hydroxychloroquine and 60mg prednisone was of no use for me. Addition of rituximab induced a 14 month remission. I think Imuran works for some people and not others. Even at 200mg Imuran, I noticed no side effects.
Avatar m tn On the way out I talked to a lady there and I told her I was bipoler and was on prednisone for joint pain. She told me that prednisone can bring on a psychotic phase in normal people and with a pre-existing condition it can be really ugly. Has anyone ever heard of such a thing?
Avatar n tn Short term low doses of Prednisone is not harmful unless you already suffer from emotional instability. If your eyesight gets blurry and/or you feel emotionally distressed while taking Prednisone contact your doctor immediately.
Avatar m tn I have been sick and my doctor ordered me to take a regiment of medication being prednisone, doxycycline and furosemide. I have been on the prednisone for 2 weeks now and he has ordered me to take 5 mg every 8 hours (he gave me 80 pills) Would the prednisone effect my HIV results? Thank you.
Avatar f tn m taking 2400-3200 mg/day of ibuprofen plus colchine. Ativan and Vicodin help me sleep at night (lying down, not in a chair), but I limit those to night time because I'm a mother of 3 and need to be on top of things during the day. Has anyone had any success with any other types of medications or treatments?
