Information on arthritis and methods of relieving pain.
p>he said that most standard pain relief says not to take if currently on warfarin. Any ideas?
p>My wife's doctor told her he cannot help her anymore. For pain relief he prescribed Vicodin. It helps but she would like to use marijuana as a tea and see if it helps. Both of us are non-smokers and have had no experience with marijuana. Any info is appreciated. Thanks
p>My dad has had a bad shoulder since Wednesday, he went to the doctor on Thursday and he told him he had a trapped nerve and prescribed him Tramadol, but this has many side effects and doesn't really numb the pain for him.
He is in a lot of agony so i wondered if anyone has experienced this and/or has any advice on pain relief and if you know what sort of time it could take to subside. I will pass on any answers
Thank you !
p>I am considering using an epidural. My previous children were all born with no pain relief at all. I am having my last and am considering avoiding the pain. I do not want to put myself or the child in harms way.
p>I suspect I'm suffering from pericoronitis (small, painful gum infection caused by being stubborn and not having my wisdom teeth pulled sooner). I have a dentist appointment but its a ways off and the pain is moderate.
Symptoms include: Sharp pain behind and around my bottom left wisdom tooth, pain opening jaw, pain swallowing, aching lower left jaw, and bad breath. I'm getting some relief with 800mg of Motrin 3 times a day with meals but its starting to wear off quicker and I'm afraid to take any more. I've pushed on the tooth and it doesn't hurt, so I'm pretty sure its my gums. I think.
p>Do you think any less of them?
Do you think mothers who chose NO pain relief are stronger mothers?
p>I am researching like crazy, but can't fully decide what pain relief I want for labour. Can I make the final decision during labour, depending on the pain? This is my first child and I'm starting to get really nervous. I'm going to talk about this with the doctor at my next appointment, but am interested to hear what you think.
I have really bad menstrual cramps when I'm on my period. Is this at all related to how much pain I'll have during labour?
p>I am recovering from ankle surgery and was prescribed Oxycodone for pain relief. I am well aware that this is a serious pain medication; however it is not working very well. Is it all right to also take Ibuprofen along with Oxycodone and in what amounts. Thanks for any help.
p>I am 40 weeks, 6 days pregnant, and if the baby isn't here by 42 weeks the doctors will want to induce. I'm wondering if anyone on here has been induced with pitocin and still managed to give birth without an epidural or other pain medications? Also, when you're induced are you and the baby constantly monitored, or are you able to get up and walk around.
I know this sounds harsh, but I only want to hear outcomes with induction from people who were able to do it without pain relief. I need some positive stories right now.
p>I have taken several different meds, PT, hydrotherapy (cold and heat), chiropractic services, massage, yoga and other such stretch exercises. Several x-rays were normal, MRI showed some bulging disc in the lower back but nothing else out of the ordinary. I still have chronic pain along the left scapula and for the past few months I now have pain of the left shoulder and up the left side of the neck. I need pain relief, any suggestions?
p>Is there any way to know?
If marijuana is used for pain relief (as people say), has there been any drop in the number of prescriptions written for opiates like hydrocodone, vicoden, etc.?
p>I delivered my beautiful son Connor this past Thursday.
My OB gave me a painkiller prescription, sanitary wipes, and hemorrhoid cream. They are not helping. I cannot sit on any surface (no matter how soft). I cannot walk without pain, and the swelling is honestly hard to believe.
Any advice on pain relief and/or your story about what you went through (and for how long) is appreciated.
p>I am allergic to codiene and the epidural so is there any other type of pain relief i can get during labor?
With my first child i was in labor for 16 hours!! I am only 13 weeks pregnant with my second and just want to be prepared this time if the pain gets to be too much!
p>Can the use of pain relief drugs such as paracetimol or codine prevent a person from suffering the effects of the common cold if taken as symtoms begin? Why/Why not?
So would it be harmful for an indervidual to take these pain relief drugs for this reason?
p>I really don't like the thought of massive pain, but i don't like that thought of not being able to push with an epidural. What other kinds of pain relief is there, and what worked for you, and if you had a midwife did she believe in pain relief?
Water birth is also an option at my hospital.
p>The pain is also radiating from the groin and buttocks down the right leg to ankle. Does anyone have a suggestion how I can get lower back pain relief without any surgery? Please note that I have had my fair share of "specialist" consultant visits with no positive results at all.
p>I got my tongue pierced yesterday and the pain is really bad at the moment. i'm going to get some ibuprofen, does anyone know if that's going to take the pain away? I'm not sure if its going to thin the blood and make it bleed or something.
or has anyone got any better ideas for a good pain relief?
thanks in advance for any answers!
p>Herniated L4-L5 disc with sciatic pain down left leg and foot, moderate to severe at times. Have tried 2 shots and oral meds, no real pain relief, physical therapy with traction provides temporary relief. What options are left and how to avoid surgery? Am a busy self employed contractor and am unable to take the time off work for surgery. Not to mention fear of the surgery and complications. Any advice will help at this point...Thanks
p>Just went to the Dentist to have a tooth pulled and he put me on antibiotics to clear up the infection some before he pulls it the pain goes clear up to my sinuses any suggestions on how to get some kind of relief
p>I am 18 weeks pregnant. Sometimes I experience a stabbing pain in my right side lower back, which does not allow me to walk or to move. The pain is like joint paint between two bones (as there is some deficiency of lubricant between the two bones). I am using Omnigel and getting relief. But I am anxious and want to know whether it has any bad effect on my baby. Please throw some light on this.
p>I think she just pulled a muscle. She likes to wrestle with the dog and she is an older lady cat. I know you can't give aspirin to cats. Just curious. If it continues we'll go see the vet. I just wondered about the pain relief possibilities.
Thanks for imput thus far. I put out the heating pad and will not give her anything till she sees the vet. She instigates the wrestling with the dog (who is not mean but rambunctious nonthe less). We are keeping her as quiet as possible.
p>So I accidentally slammed my rats tail in the cage door, there is a tiny flap of loose skin, no blood, it is very tiny but she seems to be in a bit of pain. If you saw the injury you wouldn't think it needed a vet.
But is it ok to put a dab Neosporin Plus Pain Relief on her tail?
Ok, guys. Thanks. I decided not to give it to her, but I gave her clean shredded newspaper to prevent infection.
p>I have had genital herpes for 20 years. The very first outbreak was bad, but then it got to the point I rarely ever had one. I recently had a major surgery and after they removed the catheter, I have this huge blown outbreak of herpes and it's killing with the pain and swelling. I need relief. Help!!
p>What is the difference between the three drugs?
Which is best (safest & most effective) for general pain relief?
p>With my son i used Gas and Air and absolutely LOVED it.
Its does take the edge of the pain and thats all i needed throughout my whole labour and birth.
What was your favourite pain relief?
p>I have fibromyalgia, and was just wondering if there are also some homemade remedies out there for pain relief. I take grape seed caplets every day, and that just barely takes the edge off. If you can help me, that would be just great!!!!!
p>I've decided I want to try giving birth without drugs, or at the very least just gas. I don't have my whole heart set on it and I realise I may change my mind when the time actually comes. My question is how effective is just gas for pain relief? I've heard it can make you feel a bit dizzy and out of it but is it actually any good for helping to manage pain?
p>I need to forecast and estimate the size of the entire global pain relief market (OTC) for my marketing project. My professor said to go look in NAICS or industry info for it, but everything costs money. Is there any free websites that would provide me this info?
p>I recently had some Hydrocod-APAP 325mgs from my motor vehicle accident, but recently ran out. I found some Naproxen 500mg in my medicine cabinet and wanted to ask experienced people's opinions on how the pain relief feels different.
I understand that Hydrocodone is an opiate analegic and Naproxen is an anti-inflammatory, but I would still like to see how people compare the 2.
p>My nan was taken into hospital last night with side effects from pain relief patches and kept in. She was being sick, had high blood pressure and was very disoriented. I'd like to know if anyone knows what could be wrong. Could this cause any serious problems? Should I be worried?
I heared a doctor say that they are investivating c.d.a (or at least it sounded like that to me), does anyone know what this is? I've google it and found nothing. I may have missheared but am hoping that someone with medical knowlegde may understand what he was saying.
p>I've had Fibromyalgia for 17 years now. I've been off and on Medicine for it. I was just wondering if anyone who has it , had any other methods of pain relief besides medication.
Thanks!
p>Hi all, my step son has just had braces fited yesterday and he has been up all night crying in agony, what is the strongest or most effective pain relief he can take for this?
p>I have read about a few and my mother told me she didnt use any pain relief with me. What kinds are you concitering?
p>I have started on Amitriptylene 20 mg for the last week for a continuous tension headache and facial pain maybe caused by TMJ. Im not sure how long I need to wait to get some relief (although its not as intense) my doctor said two weeks. Has anyone had any experience of this drug?
p>My 8 year old husky has arthritis in her hips, are there any natural forms of pain relief that might help her? Massage, herbs, etc?
I ask because my dog has been on both Rimadyl (spelling?) and Deramax and they both make her throw up, so I was just wondering if there was something natural that would help her.
