Avatar m tn The hospital staff said I neede to stop all blood thinnig drugs (aspirin, fish oil, advil, etc) but did not say anything about pain mends (Oxycontin 4mg 2x day and Norco for the breakthrough pain (10 - 50 mg per day depending) Can I take the pain meds right up to the surgery?
Avatar f tn Hi! Have you read the Thomas recipe? Its in the health pages. Hot baths really help. I'd also take some imodium and 800mg of advil about 3 times a day. Push fluids and eat crackers and soup til you feel better.
Avatar f tn I have heard of wrapping your legs in ace bandages helps with restless legs, Motrin 800 if you have it around or Bayer back and body Advil. It sounds like you are being prescribed your doc, I suggest going to your Dr. and getting medical help for detox, You have been taking them for a very long time.. Sorry I have nothing else except you are right the pain of addiction can out weigh the physical pain we suffer... Living is so much more fulfilling when you can feel it...
135691 tn?1271097123 Dear Becky, I understand your need to not be stoned all day. We need to be able to function while getting through this. Being able to do light housework, prepare a meal, and driving would be great. I take two 650mg. arthritis strength tylenol and two or three 200 mg. advil. I don't feel stoned at all and it really helps with the pain. So the idea is to alternate them. Example: In the morning I would take the tylenol, then a couple of hours later I would take the Advil etc.
Avatar m tn Today is day 3 for me and I feel so much better than I did yesterday! Take hot baths for muscle aches and advil pm at night to sleep. Don't worry, the misery will pass. I'm getting my strength back today. So hang in there! You can do it!!
Avatar f tn Maybe a dumb question? Ive always used oxycontin which doesnt have advil/tylenol, but I am curious all the people on here that say they take anywhere up to 30 vicodin/perc/lortab/norco pills a day, how do they not OD on advil? Isnt that like over a few thoursand mg's?
Avatar f tn advil is a minor anti inflammatory I have never heard of it prescribed for this before but it could help a little I suppose more widely prescribed for GM are some of the big anti inflammatories - particularly prednisone or methotrexate I did take Naproxen for some time, (months at a pretty high dose - it really attacks your stomach lining though so I went off), which I guess is a step up from advil, and is a non steroidal anti inflammatory (NSAID), can't say if it helped with the inflamma
Avatar f tn As some of you know I suffer from severe health anxiety...I started going through a particularly bad time last fall...I am constantly afraid of headaches,fevers,muscle aches etc..as a result of this I started taking advil constantly and I am up to about 10 to 12 liquigels a day..If I don't take them my anxiety goes through the roof and I start to imagine headaches,pain etc...this can't be good for me..and I don't know how to stop...
Avatar f tn No you can't take advil.
Avatar n tn We just found out yesterday I am expecting and figure im about 5 weeks. I have terrible headaches but I am allergic to tylenol, I have always just puked it up. Is there anything else I can take at this point?
Avatar n tn Earlier I Was In Extreme Pain Due To A Tooth Ache I Took Advil Because I Tried Tylenol Earlier In The Day && It Did Nothing Could Me Taking Advil Hurt My Baby I'm 28 Weeks Already!
918457 tn?1244645682 m on day 3 i didnt have anything for 2 and a half days, and i was going through withdrawals like crazy, getting hot cold all the time, dont want to do nothing cant sleep, and very emotional... my girlfriend knew just i needed something so she did give me one vicodon which i am prescribed for my lower back, and that helped tremendously....
Avatar f tn t stand the thought if taking hydrocodone any longer. Today is 36 hr and day 2. Hot baths this p.m. and Advil today.
Avatar f tn What, if anything can I take for a headache? I've read far too many mixed reviews. I have advil and ibuprofen here, just don't Wana take anything besides my pre natals, too nerve wracking!
Avatar m tn Can you take meloxicam and later a couple of Advil? I was prescribed meloxicam for my arthritis and it does not always help me..
1051752 tn?1253833456 Imitrex on the other hand is migraine medication and will stop a migraine. Advil is not migraine medication and can cause problems by making headaches worse. Imitrex is migraine medication that is specifically for migraine and it will stop a migraine. Most migraines do not come with aura. Take that into consideration when you get a headache that feels exactly like your regular migraine just without an aura. That means you are having a migraine. You don't need an aura to have a migraine.
Avatar f tn I ALWAYS have to take medicine and take it easy for a few days during my period. I usually take Advil the day before my expected period because they say that it works better if you take it before the pain starts. It does for me. Here is my problem: My husband and I are always dreaming and hoping for a baby. Is it a good idea to take Advil the day before my expected period when there is a chance I could be pregnant?
Avatar f tn I am still in a little pain but have managed in with advil 800 mg twice a day and Tylenol 1,000 mg a day since Monday. I have no choice but to be off the vics and perks, my doctor will not write me anymore. Here it is 74 hours without any opiate painkillers and my symptoms are very mild except for the bad diarrhea. I could only sleep for 5 hours last night & did toss and turn a bit. My legs were mildly crampy so this led to the tossing & turning!
Avatar f tn t take tylenol and/or advil? you can alternate them to get pain relief comparable to some narcotics. dermoplast spray ( the blue can for the genital area, not the red can ) is a spray on topical anesthestic you can get for under $10 at most drug stores. You spray it on for pain relief on the lesions.
401095 tn?1351391770 I need oxycontin...oxycodone and oxycontin are strong and for severe pain and used here for cancer patients or those with no quality of life..I am a nurse and a patient advocate ...but i think we need to be sure of the messages we are sending out here...you would need to be in a dire situation to use the narcs agin...it is ok to reach out...and ask for support...just find it a bit worrisome as most on here are in some sort of chronic pain...
Avatar n tn I stuck with a muti vitamin, extra B-12 suppliment (to help with brain healing from being manipulated by the pain pills), some folic acid, fish oil pill,,advil and immodium if stomach issues hit..Then bagels, toast in the morning,,, anything to keep some food moving as one's appetite really isn't the greatest..Then relied on Progresso vegetable soups and premake some sandwiches at times so I could get a nibble here or there when I just didn't feel I could eat the whole thing.
Avatar m tn Eat bland food. Take a mag/cal supplement. Hylands restful legs and leg cramps for the RLS. Heating pad and advil for pain and aches. Let us know your symptoms, and we can give you some more ideas! I'll be cheering for you!!!
Avatar f tn I am staying away from them for a while because this headache is horrible. I took 2 advil and it is kindof going away but I am getting very anxious that something could happen to me. The last one I took was 10:20 last night and its 12:30 in the afternoon now. Would something bad have happened already? Please help ease my anxiety. Thank you guys for any answers you can give me.
2108228 tn?1339862242 I want to stop taking my pain medicine soon. I've gotten it down to (2 /40mg) every 12 hrs. I have stage 3 colon cancer and had a colostomy for 8 months until they reversed it which was approximately 90 days ago (my 2nd major surgery in 9 months). I have been on them about 2 years now due to severe pain and a tendon rupture. My question is, first off is what I'm taking a large amount or not too large amount of what people out there take? I'm terrified of WD.
Avatar m tn The insomnia is controllable with vilarian root and maletonin I can get 4 to six hours sleep and hoping one day to just be able to sleep with no vitamins. I take advil for my knees and baths should I be concerned about the advil is it habit forming at all? when do I know I can sleep with no aids again i want to try every night but Im just tired and can`t see myself sleeping on my own.
Avatar m tn Hi guys! I have a lot of chronic pain problems with my knee, back and foot. I have been on all sorts of meds in the past, including vicodin and percocet. My orthopedic Dr. told me before I could mix tylenol with advil and it would equal a pain pill without the narcotic effect. I don't remember how many of each to take and how many hours apart to take each of them. Is this safe? I would rather take these then go back on pain meds! Thanks!
