Should I be taking 4mg of Medrol daily to help control my Arthritis? Been on this for 11 years now and health issues showing up. Torn achilles tendon right foot. Worn tendons and damaged ligaments left foot. Is it safe to be on Medrol this long? ## Hello, Oliver! How are you doing? I'm sorry about the health issues you've been experiencing. There are always risks to taking medications for a long period of time, that is why people are always advised to only continue something, as long as their doctor deems it safe for them to do so. Other long term effects, as reported by the FDA, may include weight gain, fluid retention, acne, and high blood pressure. Has your doctor tied these issues to your use of this medication? Or do they think there is some other cause? ## Thanks for the q...

Is It a narcotic? How safe is it to take for long period?Does it interfere with any other drug taken? I take it for fibromialgia and rheumathoid arthritis. ## No, Tramadol is not classified as a narcotic, though the FDA has changed their minds on this, several times. Currently, it is classified as a centrally acting analgesic, because it does not control pain as well as a narcotic, but it can cause similar side effects, such as: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth. It can react with some other medications, however, there are far too many for me to list. Can you post back with the name of any other drugs you are concerned about? I will gladly check the interactions for you.

i had a x ray on my hip in india the diagnosis was i was in the early stages of arthritis of the hip the doctor prescribed these tablets over a period of 4 months the tablets are yellow in colour. i did have pain now and again before the xray but since comiing home i have been in constant every day which wasn't the case before also my fingernails are in a very bad state i am wondering if the tablets have anything to do with this.

I suffer from back pain from a diving accident, I have a degerative arthritis and scoliosis and even though I don't have diabetes I have peripheral neuropathy and fibromyalgia . Is getting very hard to go up to 6 pharmacies by bus or a friend spending the day driving me to find them ## There are usually shortages this time of year, due to mandatory manufacturing limits, as well as limits on how much a pharmacy is allowed to order in and keep in stock at once. Learn more pain management details here. Do you have insurance? If so, you might want to see if they have a mail order pharmacy that they recommend, that would most likely make it a lot easier for you to get your prescriptions filled each month. ## There has been several times I went to Walgreens and had the oxicodone 30 mg and...

Please inform me whether Sazo 1000 creates any problems during pregnancy? Is it safe to use during the pregnancy period? ## Can anybody pls explain to me the real cause of rheumatic arthritis and if Sazo 1000mg helps to treat the underlying cause? I know that it's an autoimmune disorder but I don't know what triggers it. It's been one year since I've been diagnosed with it and I am 17 yrs old. I tried doing my bit of research and I came across a certain protein present in a particular gene responsible for this kind of response but I am still not clear what causes this.

I have been taking trepiline for chronic pain, I have rheumatoid arthritis and has severe pain in my muscles. I take 5mg per night and have done so for 4 yearsbut now I cant sleep without it ## It is normal for your body to become dependent on something that you've been taking for such a long period of time. Learn more Tripiline details here. Eventually your body would readjust and you'd sleep, but there would likely be a few sleepless weeks first. Have you talked to your doctor about it?

I have MVP and take propanolol and was recently prescribed meloxicam for arthritis. Is it okay to take the meloxicam with having mitral valve prolapse? ## Hi debbie, Based on my research, Meloxicam is contraindicated for the treatment of peri-operative pain in the setting of coronary artery bypass graft (CABG) surgery. I haven't found anything specifically relating to MVP in that regard. But one review I've come across from another MVP patient (who happened to be taking Meloxicam), mentioned that their heart was acting strange on this medication and they had to switch to another muscle relaxer. Although it is important to understand that these medications can effect each person differently, so unfortunately the only way to know for sure how it effects you, is to go by trial and ...
