Need Something For My Pain

My dog can not go to vet for approx 24hrs he can not walk seen this could be for different reasons all i have at the moment is a mylan 143 and i believe it is an indomethacin and can be dangerous but could i just break the capsule and add a little bit on something for him to eat to help him out till i get to the vet ## @from ohio, Even though indomethacin is just a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drug, I don't think it would be wise to give any amount of it to your dog without first consulting with a veterinarian. It sounds like you have an appointment already made, but maybe if you just called asking for some quick advice, they'd probably be able to offer you their professional opinion on it's overall safety for dogs and protocols relating to proper dosing/administration.

I have herniated disc in the cervical,(pressing on a nerve) and also have Factor five blood disorder,therefore I'am not a candidate for any type of surgery,I have Hydrocodone 10.325 mg. 6 a day and 2 mg Dilaudid for breakthrough pain,the dilaudid works via IV but the 2 mg pill does nothing at all. I recently visited two different spine centers just to find out they can't help at all because of the factor five.They suggested the pain patch,(which I simply don't want to be on) I have watched people on this patch and last about a year after being on it.I'am not one to give up and not one to be doing the narcotic nod,I just want to be able to live and be active with little to no pain.I have had several people mention the dilaudid just how much should I be taking for it to he...

I was rear ended by a Semi 15 years ago and have various back problems that are only getting worse. I have SI joint dysfunction, degenerative disc disease, facet something, sciatica bulging disks, and the list goes on. I have already had 6 lumbar shots, 2 SI shots and 1 epidural in the last 3 months. NONE of them have helped and some have made me worse. I have been on Norco 10's for 5 years. They now do nothing for my pain. I need something stronger and I do not know how to approach with my pain management Dr on my next visit? I do not want to seem like a drug seeker, but I want to be able to participate in life. Play catch with my son, empty the dishwasher, mop the floors. I also take Lyrica, Valium and Zanaflex (which is a joke and does nothing for me). I have built up a tolerance...

I have been diagnosed with having a mycobacterium infection. I am currently working asking one tablet in the morning and one in the afternoon to the Bactrim DS 800/160mg. Is there anything stronger? I have just taken the pm dose of day four. Should I be seeing signs this medication working by now? My doctor says I may have to have surgery to remove infection if the Bactrim doesn't work. ## This is a very potent antibiotic. The NIH lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, non-allergic skin rash, stomach pain, and diarrhea. Has there been any change? Is surgery the only option your doctor has posited?

So, you can't add any other narcotic, you'd have to stop taking it for a few days, before you could try something else....

I have an injury of my neck and shoulder and I'm on Transfix 50mg and Percocet. I was prescribed the Percocet every 6-8 hours but I only take 1/2 at night. My doctor won't refill the prescription which lasted me 3.5 weeks, instead of if I took it as prescribed would have been gone in 7 days. It's for the breakthrough pain so I can sleep. Is there anything else I can take? I vomit on Norco and Vicodin. ## Do you mean Tramadol 50 mg instead of Transfix 50mg ? If it is pain that keeps you awake, ask your dr if you can take Tramadol at night. If you just can't sleep, talk to your dr about something to help you sleep. It is best to not take something to help you sleep for more than a short time. ## It's tramadol 50mg not transfix (autocorrect) that I'm on and the neck...

my husband has been seeing his pain dr for over a year now..he only accepts cash($200 for every 2 weeks)..now i understand paying the $200 to be seen,but there was one time where for xmas the office was going to be closed for a week or 2..so when we came in,he had 2 scripts..1 for that time an 1 for 2 weeks from that date..now,my question falls..was it legal to charge us $400,instead off just the $200,cause we weren't coming bk in the next time? i felt like he was basically selling us the script!! how can he justify charging us for a "visit" we didn't need to come to? an now again,my husband was told last week the Dr would be out of town for a week an he needed to stop in early to pick up his script,there was only the desk nurse or secretary there,not sure if shes even a...

I've been on embeda for about 4 months I'm still hurting and was having dizzy spells called my doc she recommended me to lack off and it worked but I'm in pain do you think lortab,zorohydro would be better I've been on lortab before and it helps better than the embeda ## Hello, Robert! How are you? I'm very sorry that you're in pain. You may do well with the Zohydro, since Lortab worked well for you. It contains a time released formulation of Hydrocodone. The FDA classifies this medication 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. You could ask your doctor about it and see what she thinks. Is there anything else I can help with?

Hi, I got pink eye a week ago and started to use polysporin eye drop for a day, then it got worse and more swollen and more painful. Dr prescribed me tobremycin eye drops, then after 3 days my eye got worse and worse. Tears running non stop and my eye is like a bowl of blood. It is so itchy and painful. I hardly can open my eye. After 5 days my Dr prescribed oral medicine (clindamycin 300mg) 3x daily. I just started last night but there is no change. I am so worried about this issue. He said if it gets worse i have to do some inj. ## The general rule with oral antibiotics is that if they are working, you shouldn't see any worsening after taking it for a full 24 hours, and you should start to see improvement after taking it for a full 3 days. The FDA lists the typical side effects as...

Just want to find a doctor in KY that will write something preferably the oxycodone 30 for pain and 15's for breakthru, plus I've been taking xanax for around 5 years to try and help with the pain and anxiety which they do to a certain point. But I say the oxycodone because I went to a pain clinic in GA 3 months ago and they wrote them for me and I thought I was in heaven as far as the pain was concerned but due to the pain I can't make those trips.!!! Someone PLEASE HELP!!!! ## I have been having anxiety attacks and the thing that helped was xanax ## @Micheal, I may not have a doctor I can refer you to, but I can provide you with a couple links that may be of service to you in so far as locating pain management doctors within your general area.

Hi, I've been taking norco 10/325 for a couple of years now for fibromyalgia and chronic back pain, tendonitus and siatica. I'm prescribed 90/month. But my pain is not being managed. I have high tolerance I guess., but im afraid to ask my dr. if he will prescribe 120 a month because 3 a day is just not cutting it at all. but i dont want him to get mad at me. Is he even allowed to prescribe more than 90 a month? or what is something that maybe lasts longer than the norco does? It seems these only help my severe pain for a couple of hours then it starts back up again. my quality of life is really diminishing. ## Hello, Sarah! How are you? If you want something that lasts longer, it might be best to speak to your doctor about trying a time released medication, such as Oxycontin. It...

I need to find a new pain clinic in Knoxville TN. The doctor at my clinic now is of the philosophy of 60 mg total of meds a day. He does not believe in tolerance. I have been on meds for 4 years now and can attest to the idea of tolerance. Does anyone know a clinic that does not use this philosophy? Does procedures? Takes tenncare? I am desperate! I have let my pain get too out of control and need to do something before I lose my job to being in too much pain! ## Hello, Fedup! How are you? Unfortunately, that's not likely to change, even if you see a different doctor. There were new directives set forth by the DEA last year that instruct doctors to limit the amount of medications prescribed for pain to a certain amount a day, with exceptions only being made for those that suffer int...

when I went to the doctors on the 1st of last month they took away my oxycontin 60 milligrams and gave me 15 milligrams oxycodone they said it was due to CDC guidelines but I have read through all of that and it's only a recommendation I have never taken anything other than what they have prescribed me nor have I ever taken more than the amount they have prescribed me but now I find myself desperate I can't play with my grandchildren I can't get out of bed there's days I wish I never even would wake up I don't know what to do but I do know I don't want to live life in pain like this especially knowing that there is something they can get me so I'm not in pain I live in Missouri I'm just wondering if anyone else in Missouri has experienced this problem within

Is it breaking any laws if I get pain killer from 2 different doctors ## Hello, Ace! How are you? It depends on the situation. For instance, if you were going to your regular doctor and received a prescription for 10mg Oxycodone tablets, then also went to another doctor and got another prescription for the same thing, it would be considered doctor hopping and is illegal. However, if you were prescribed something by your regular doctor and went to the ER due to some problem and received a prescription for something else, to make you comfortable, until you can see your doctor, then that wouldn't be. Or if your GP prescribed something mild for a few days, until you got into pain management and then that new doctor prescribes something different. But if you were deliberately doing it to...

I think someone switched my Vicodin with something else. Is there anything that looks like I would be taking a Vicodin and wouldn't notice?

Now it just seems to not work at all. ## Yes that could be... do u 1st have anyone else living with you that could have done this?

It should tell you and most “good” selections should also provide you with at least one picture ...
