I am just having a flair up with rheumatoid arthritis really bad. Is it safe to use morphine, as I am taking diazepam at the moment? ## Has your doctor prescribed it for you? In some cases, Morphine can worsen joint inflammation, so it should not be taken, without the approval of a medical professional. The NIH warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation, and dry mouth. Taking it with the Diazepam may worsen some of the side effects, according to NIH reports, such as nausea, dizziness, and drowsiness. Is there anything else I can help with?

I have pain in my whole neck and my whole neck is this normal the pain is so bad. Iam on antibiotics from yesterday but how long will it take to go. ?? ## Hello, Julie! How are you? The general rule for antibiotics is that if they are working, there shouldn't be any worsening after being on them for a full 24 hours and you should start to see improvement after a full 3 days of taking them. The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash and diarrhea. If there's not improvement after a couple more days, you should see your doctor. Is there anything else I can help with?

I'm wondering what this pain is? I normally feel some severe cramp all over my whole leg from mid calf to my upper thigh. It radiates and it feels like it's in my bone or bone marrow, meaning deep inside. This pain makes me want to fall if I'm standing upright. It lasts for about one hour to 1.5 hours. When it's occuring it feels like I can have a baby and I'm normally suffering from arthritis pain too. What is this pain? ## Unfortunately this site is not familiar with your full medical history so we cannot diagnose, treat or prescribe anything.

can But/apap/caf be used for other temporary pain associated with arthritis or fibromyalgia ## That stands for Butalbital, Acetaminophen and Caffeine, this combination is usually used to treat migraine headaches. It may help a little with pain from those conditions, since the Acetaminophen is commonly used to treat pain and swelling. Have you spoken to your doctor or pharmacist about what you should use for the pain?

I am addicted to opiates for pain. I abuse the oxy that I get. Would Sub or Methatdone be better for me with regards to pain? My husband has a history with drugs and has been on Methadone. He thinks Methadone is the way to go. ## Hi Sheri, I guess I am way too late but will throw in my two cents anyway. Im recovering from an opiate prob (percs) and am on a sub program. I found a good doctor, checked his background on the net, and am lucky. Things are going well.. Ok, I can answer with confidence that Suboxone is NOT a choice for you. Subs are used to fight an opiate addiction, not to treat pain. It was not designed for pain management, but Methadone is. I have read its especially used for end of life pain management. It has a long half-life and therefore is easier for people to overdose...

Hi, I had a back ache and a bit of pain was radiating to my legs. For the last 2 days there has been a feeling of numbness and tingling in my lower right leg. I have been prescribed Felicita OD for this and I'm not sure why this drug is important for a pain related matter. Any guidance would be much appreciated.

A friend suggested I ask my rheumatologist for this as a substitute for cyclobenzaprine which became excessively costly for me about 2 years ago and I stopped taking it. The spelling of "marporanol" is a guess. I do not know any more than this.

I have been on 10 mg oxycodone and codeine #4 for 10 years and now I'm sick of it. I was told kratom is good for pain. Does anyone know if it really works? Pain meds don't work any more and I want off of pain killers. ## I have been looking at kratom forums on the web seeking alternatives to pain pills. I'm getting mixed opinions on it being effective for pain issues. There are online vendors who feature an option of buying a few different strains which you can sample. Most forum users are seeking a way to detox from the pills using kratom to cope with withdrawal symptoms. ## I believe that Kratom is the best pain reliever on the face of the Earth. I have been a Chronic Pain patient for 20 years and have been prescribed Everything Possible for severe pain. Kratom works bette...

Is this like Percocet? I need to know ## Hello, Lacy! How are you? Lortab is also an opiate that is used to treat severe pain. It contains Hydrocodone and Acetaminophen. The FDA classifies it as a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. Is there anything else I can help with?

Has anyone taken Ebility for pain relief? If so, how well does it work? ## It appears that this medication is manufactured outside the United States, possibly by Piramal healthcare.

DermaTran compounds a cream that I use to help with my arthritis. This is the only cream that I have used and gotten relief. It costs me $60 a tube and I am 92 yrs old and live on Social Security. The VA says they can not help me and I need some help in lowering the cost. A tube lasts me about 2 months. ## Hello, John! How are you? I am very sorry about the problem that you're having. However, DermaTran is a chain of compounding pharmacies, which means what you're getting isn't actually a specific name brand medication, so there is no assistance available for it. I wish I had better news for you, but unfortunately, I don't. The only suggestion I can make is to check with other compounding pharmacies in your area and see if they may offer a cheaper price. Does anyone else...

Hi have nuroapathy bad extending from elbows and painfull they gave me perks which I don't want and really don't work. Someone gave me a blue capsule with at least the number2 on it twice does anyone know what that was. Looking up on line I've read that any kind of drugs that are antiseizer med can bring on this condition is this true? I don't drink ideas on why I have this? ## Hello, Steve! How are you feeling? I'm sorry, but it's difficult to be certain what the capsule was, without knowing the full imprint. And no, anticonvulsants can help treat neuropathy, they don't usually cause it. Due to the way they act on brain chemicals, they can help alleviate the associated nerve pain. It's also not necessarily associated with drinking. It's basically jus...

I was just wondering what I should I do with it. He offered it because I told him that I had a real bad headache. ## I think your pill was a high dose TYLONOL.

Anyone else take this pill I'd sure like to hear from you! ## Domino is correct, this tablet is manufactured by Amneal Pharmaceuticals and they list it as containing 500mgs of Acetaminophen/Paracetamol.

How long does it take to get off subsys, I have been on this for over 15 years for chronic nerve damage. What are the withdrawals and what other pain relief is instead of this. ## Hello, Jean! How are you? The FDA lists Subsys as containing Fentanyl, which is the most potent opiate available, thus after that long of a time period, you'll need to do a very slow taper. Your doctor should be able to help you set up a proper tapering schedule. However, since there is nothing else close to it available, I am not sure what else you may be able to use for pain relief. What dosage of it have you been on? The possible withdrawals may include nausea, dizziness, fever, chills, diarrhea, depression and rebound pain.

slight whip lash, neck pain-difficult to turn head to the right ## It should be helpful in your situation, although Lyrica is typically prescribed for neuropathic pain such as Fibromyalgia or spinal cord injuries. (were you prescribed this by your doctor?) If you're dealing with muscle pain, have you considered safer over-the-counter products such as Advil, Aleve, Tylenol, etc? Regardless I'd say that you should get your neck checked out if the pain is moderate or more. Hope this helps! You can read more about this drug at:
