Re: If you were me... Sierra

[Guest guest]

Hi Sierra:

I'm sorry to hear that you are in pain, and it looks

like the doctor won get back to you until Monday. For

me, at first I took Motrin for pain, 800 mg. twice a

day, and then increased from there. Unfortunately,

after a few years on that, my stomach started acting

up, and I got constant heartburn, and was then

switched from the Motrin to Ultracet, and from there I

have now gone to Ultram which is the best so far.

At first, though, I would suggest that you try Motrin

or any sort of anti-inflammatory O.T.C. such as that,

but be sure to watch out for your stomach and take

with food. It should be able to get you through the

weekend until Monday. Hot baths and showers, heating

pads, and rice socks are my staple outside of the pain

pills. Rice socks are the best as they really form to

whatever joint is painful and I find that really helps

to get all around the joint if possible.

I hope this helps - prayers are with you -

Thanks for the caring words. I went to drugs.com and checked out

interactions--there were none listed with the Tylenol. So I think

that'll be my choice. Thank goodness for the Internet--it's there for

me when my doctor can't be...
