12103503 tn?1423448886 I have severe back pain and my doctor has given me vicodin. She said it was safe to take while pregnant. Have any of you taken it while pregnant?
Avatar f tn Ended up at an urgent care clinic where I was prescribed cipro for the infection and vicodin for the pain. I took all 24 of them over the course of a week. Usually 1/2 a vicodin or 1 as directed. Sometimes at night after a long day and my back hurt worse I would take an extra 1/2. Here's my question, is it possible to have withdrawal symptoms from that? I was unable to sleep last night with restless legs, more back pain and general not feeling well.
6698677 tn?1388419893 Six hours of joy in the ER. Doctor sent me there thought I had something that may burst. Blood work, ultrasound, etc. Nurse must have asked me 5 times my pain level. Told her I was about a 5 when really it was more. Anyway antibiotics & an automatic prescription for Vicodin. I handed back the presc & told them Tylenol should do it. I thought it was interesting because I told my own doc that I am done with the MS Contin so that was noted on the orders he sent with me.
Avatar n tn I have been taking Vicodin For my headaches i have constantly. Usually i always have one everday but lately I have been having Extreme pain in the center of my brain once a week! It hurts so bad i puke and moving around makes it hurt worse. I tried Iboprofun and hot baths, ice packs, sinus medecine- nothing helps not even the pain killers. I almost made my husband take me to the ER. I heard antidrepressents help but i already take those. Could something be really wrong?
Avatar f tn You've been taking it everyday for 8 months so you probably have become dependent on it psychologically, and you definately have become dependent physically as well.. which means: withdrawal! i'm not sure how that will workout with one kidney, maybe you should taper more slowly than usual i don't know. talk to your GP about it. i have a great alternative to drugs: i talked about it in the thread below http://www.medhelp.
Avatar f tn I went to a hospital 4 days ago for a kidney infection my doctor also prescribed me with vicodin. I only took one because after staying 2days in the hospital my pain wouldn't go away. And after that 1 I felt better. I think if you stop taking them the baby will be ok. Ask another doctor to be sure..
Avatar f tn But since then, she keeps coming up with reasons to need Vicodin...first a UTI, then a kidney or bladder infection, then more menstrual troubles. And she puts herself through all these tests for these illnesses but nothing ever comes back as conclusive. I'm so worried. Is this how Vicodin addiction starts? How do I bring this up to my parents?
Avatar f tn Tinnitus can be caused by numerous drugs , and numerous outside influences. Other cases can be caused by exposure to loud noises that can & do often cause damage to the nerve center of hearing. One single exposure to a loud noise can cause irreversible hearing damage that is nerve damage & irreversible. One time only shooting a gun or hearing a gunshot in close range can cause this.
Avatar m tn Vicodin along with other narcotic medications lower your immune system once they're stopped abruptly. You're more apt to getting sick once you've stopped taking them -- but you didn't mention if you're on them still or have stopped taking them. Either way, it sounds like you're merely sick with a common something or other...
Avatar f tn . Well my doctor prescribed vicodin, 3 a day, 5/500, for my sciatic pain. Now I am 20 days away from delivery and he's saying its possible my son will be born addicted! I dont understand why i wasnt told about this earlier. do you think it's enough time to wean off or stop conpletely and he will be ok? I'd rather be in pain than have him go through that. Does anyone have actual experience with this?
1374564 tn?1295059520 Hi all, I have been on Vicodin for awhie..much longer than I realized and just recently had my doctor tell me some symptoms I thought were related to a UTI was actually signs of addiction and withdrawals from Vicodin. Yeah for me. I have dumped all of my pills in the toilet.
Avatar n tn lithrotripsy is a walk in the park ive had 2 of them and have kidney stones since 1995!!
696149 tn?1314320959 I was off of it for nearly 2 years and then went back on it because of kidney stones. I felt better on Vicodin than off, I discovered. The problem is, to keep feeling good, you always have to increase the dosage. That's not good at all for many reasons....the worst is your body will eventually shut down if you keep doing this. Well I did some looking around and found that some doctors were treating people with Suboxone for depression. It has been shown to actually help people.
8475475 tn?1403476630 This is my 3rd and I been sick with everything (flu, kidney stone, bladder infection) so I'm not just telling u something I don't know about while u are pregnant u can take narcotics like Lortab this is my third c sec and I always got 30 Lortab and u can take them if u r breastfeeding
Avatar f tn Before I found out I was pregnant, I was using a face cream called Clindamycin, and taking low dose Vicodin for pain, that I thought was from a kidney stone, and I had a margarita. Just make sure from this point on, you call your doc before taking any prescription or over the counter meds. Good Luck!!
4768456 tn?1358921474 The sooner you get off the Vicodin, The Better. I am not a Dr but was dependent on Vicodin for 8 years of my life in the 1990's now I have been clean since 1999 and I work as an Emergency Medical Technician and will be attending Paramedic school this coming March.
Avatar n tn I have a few questions - Been diagnosed with multiple kidney stones in both kidneys - left side largest is 5 mm. I have a 2.5 cm solid mass in right kidney. I also have constant microscopic hematuria. I have a lot of pain mainly on my left side, alot of time enough to make be bend over . Urologist said can't be from kidney stones since they are still in my kidney. I may have passed something but nothing big enough to see since I have been watching when I urinate and have symptons.
Avatar f tn I am sorry to ask so many questions I was just a bit confused by what you said. I have no medical background but I wouldn't think that using them for 5 days would cause all of these problems...do you think it could be caused by something else, or are you positive that the vicodin is the root of these new problems?
Avatar f tn Is it possible to have vicodin withdrawals after a week? I took my prescription as directed for a week and then when I stopped I felt kind of sick and had restless legs one night. That was 5 days ago and I still feel sick.
Avatar f tn m a chronic pain management patient, with fibromyalgia and flank pain due to medullary sponge kidney. I was originally sent to a pain mgmt doc almost 5 yrs because of the chronic kidney pain (was diagnosed with fibro a year later). For almost 5 yrs I have been on the fentanyl patch to manage pain. I was on a 50 patch every 48 hrs (yes, 48 hrs not 72) for most of that time but almost a yr ago I switched to the 25 mcg/hr patch (still every 48 hrs).
Avatar n tn Hi, I am a 41 year old male with no other medical condtions. I passed a kidney stone about 1 month ago and it still burns/aches after I urinate. My doctor seems to think that the stone may have nicked my urethra on the way out. He seems to think it will heal on its own and wants to take the wait and see approach. How long should this take to heal on its own and is there anything I could take/do to speed up the process.
