Avatar f tn tried enbrel, mtx, simponi, mobic, ibuprof. and more. Thinking of cataflam, arthrotec. If something has helped your ra pain pls reply. Narcotics are out I drive for a living. Thank you.
Avatar f tn Thank you Molly, what a sweet person you are. I do have an appt. in two weeks with my Rheumy and will ask abt. perhaps taking it instead of the Lortab. It is just too much for me to go on without something stronger than the Ibu. and otc pain meds. I have SLE and fibro, cfs, and if I can I would prefer to not take the Lortabs anymore. Thank you again for your reply and I hope you are doing well also.
Avatar f tn It sounds like you may have Fibromyalgia or even perhaps a mix between that and Chronic Fatigue. Many doctors think the two are the same condition, but each person has either pain or fatigue as their main symptom. I am not familiar with Arthrotec, so I can't comment on that medication. What kind of specialist are you going to see? The best type for what you are going through is a Rheumatologist. I would get in to see one if you can. Good luck. -Dusty.
Avatar n tn 5 months (in a cast at first then sling/brace) and still no-union of bone but my arm does feel much better. The doctor said that he did see some minimal amount of callus formation a few weeks ago but on yesterday's x-ray he said it looks worse than it did three weeks ago which is really dissapointing news to me. At this stage of the game my orthopedic surgeon is suggesting an operation to secure the bone with a plate and screws.
Avatar f tn My MRI opines a L5-S1 posterior & right posterolateral disc herniation with mild caudal migration. I have pain the length of my leg down the sciatic nerve and am numb down my calf and ball of my foot, three toes suffer pins and needles. Since it happened, I have had terrible pain and suffered restless leg syndrome from the onset. I cannot sleep in my bed, but sitting up on the sofa. I cannot sleep longer than for 2 hours. I was given Tramadol and Arthrotec for the pain.
780647 tn?1304020942 I also see that a physician prescribed Arthrotec for you. Arthrotec is used to treat osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis in people at high risk for developing stomach or intestinal ulcers. Both conditions can be extremely painful which explains the symptoms you are experiencing. Have you began the medication yet? It may take some time before you see the benefits. Some times NSAID's need to "build up" in your system before they are truly effective.
393986 tn?1303825975 Her neuro is one I have seen before and what he did for her was good, she is not on any disease modifiers, but she had a flare recently and she had to have solumedrol treatment. So if you get a woman saying "Spastic" sent me, it is her... She is a very sweet person...

Avatar m tn i am on very high doses of morphine, oramorph, tramadol, dihydrocodeine, baclofen, arthrotec & some paracetamol for a bad back. I also have osteoporosis & take calcium tablets for this too. This has gone on for 5 years since i fell off the back of my old works truck. Oh & 2 lots of pills for high blood pressure.
1232362 tn?1333135406 over the past 2 weeks, but especially past 24 hrs I've had increasing neck pain that I also feel on the outside of my right arm. I now have pain doing things like lifting light items like a quart of milk or opening the venetian blinds, turning my head to the right is painful. The pain is not like a typical stiff neck, but like I'm being sliced open with no anesthesia. I do have a herniated disc at c6 which I had a cervical epidural for almost a year ago. Could this be acting up again?
Avatar m tn ll take more injections with more caution. Interesting though that the anti-inflammatory arthrotec and 25 mg nortriptyline seemed to do the job before the injections!
Avatar m tn My wife is home & yes it is detox 5. The whole family are saying .it would be the best thing for me. 5 days instead of the alternative slow painful w/d. I know I will need something for the pain so I don't know what to do for. The .best. It also seems like a lot of money. We need to wait till my next hospital appt to see what is said before I really. Make any decision.
Avatar f tn What do you do if you have loved someone for 3 years and you put up with their weed habits but you never wanted a guy who smokes but you still gave it a try but you know that that is not what you want but you love them?
Avatar m tn I have had chest xray which showed a probable hiatus hernia (my doctor does not think this is the cause or significant since I have no reflux or trouble eating). I have had abdominal ultrasound and chest and abdominal CT and all have come back negative. Blood work was all negative including a D-dimer negative urine negative but I am still in pain. The pain gets less sometimes and sometimes eases after eating but rarely goes away completely.
Avatar f tn I was on Arthrotec and Mefenamic (at different times) and both really did a number on my stomach. Now I'm on iv morphine. From what I can remember also, when I took Codeine a long time ago, I would also get a lot of stomach pain or chest pain and get really hot in the face. Weird it don't happen with morphine. I guess my post wasn't much help. Sorry. But just check about the aspirin.
