pain relief research

Hi there, It sounds to me like you need to find another doctor or a pain management clinic who will work with you on finding the best pain relief options, including careful use of opioids. It seems to me you've exhausted all other options and your research is solid. If it were me, I would "fire" the doctor who refuses to treat you as a partner in your own treatment.

Seeing this site has been a huge eye opener for me (and a source of hope) - the pain relief medication that most of you have access to is way beyond what I have been given in the UK. I only take 600mg of Tramadol and 3600mg of Gabapentin. I used to take dichlofenac but had to stop because of ulcers. I've asked for morphine but my doctors are reluctant to give it to me.

Hey Community, *This is a bit lengthy but I wanted to share in case anyone is interested an alternative way to pain relief. I am DESPERATE for something and DO NOT want to go back on the meds. I did my first acupuncture session with a new person who came highly recommended. I had tried acupuncture before but there was a BIG difference this time. 1} I want to help my pain without medicating myself 2} I researched and found someone who specializes in Chinese medicine...

Antibiotics are not working fast enough and I cannot even get up and walk around because of the pain. I tried an apple cider vinegar bath which helped with short term relief, but I have to work in 3 hours and need this itching and burning to stop! All std tests came back negative but I still can't get these infections from coming back. Any suggestions?

* If you have advanced liver disease - you should not take any NSAID pain relieves. Such as Advil, Aleve or Aspirin. The recommend pain killer is Tylenol/acetaminophen only for people with advanced liver disease. No more than 2,000 mg a day. Loritab is is an analgesic (painkiller) combination containing acetaminophen and hydrocodone used to relieve moderate to severe pain. Hydrocodone is a narcotic and is habit forming.

But most drs recommend paracetamol for pain relief while pregnant. Perhapz your dr will give u something. Good luck and u r almost through with the journey and soon your precious cargo will arrive.

The first thing they need to figure out is if you have nerve pain or muscle pain or both. For muscle pain it would be muscle relaxers like Baclefin or Zanaflex or something similar. For nerve pain in the states they use Gabenpentin which is a seizure medicine or Lyrica or Trileptal. Or sometimes anti depressants such as Amitryptoline. For headaches they use Topamax as a preventative. I take Immitrex for my migraines.

was just wondering what type of pain relief everyone uses or plans on using during labour...

Hi, I live in the UK and was wondering if anyone can help me with pain relief. I know you cant take ibroprufen, aspirin and are limited to paracetamol. I was told you should take anymore than 2-4 tablets a week. Im in alot of pain with my lower pain and keep getting back spasums im only 16wks but had the same with my first where I struggled to walk and every now and then it stops me in my tracks where I cant move. Ive tried warm baths and heated oats and it doesnt seem to be helping.

If i work more than 8 hour or up for 8 hour , my leg starts hurting along with joint pain and nervousness and back pain. forgot I have high blood pressure now. what do i do. help please.

Hi to all - w/ greetings to my friend Khiba - I have tried Lyrica and had a reaction of involuntary jerking. I didn't have tremendous results with neurontin, but it did help at high doses. I'm currently involved in the vicious trap of narcotics, but have MS as well as Sys. Sclerosis so have joint pain that's really bad on top of the MS pain. Also osteoporosis and spinal problems causing pain.

Temgesic (sub) is the European communities form of pain relief RX - - didnt touch my pain so I wasnt interested in it. Not available in US for pain relief......only allowed to be prescribed for opiate abuse. Dont think its too good for prn pain - the stuff is so goofy with pharmacology and half lives that you would have to take it a day and a half before sceduled headache.......but you would be good to go for rebound headache!!! You might find that methadone is better for your purposes........

over the years i guess i have developed a high tolerance to pain meds nothing helps. i do not like taking RX pain meds due to i have 2 very active childern and i dont want to miss a minute of there lives. i do not sleep at night because when i roll over and lay on my arm i wake up hurting. am i'm the only one that has this issue? is there others like me? how do they cope? is there any relief?

What is the best pain relief to take when you have Hep C ? I am not on treatment at this time and i have chronic back problems as well as the pains and fatigue associated with the virus.
