Anyone taking this medication

[Guest guest]

Hi All,

 

When I was in a car accident over 3 years ago.  I was taking Percocet.  That

really help with the pain. 

Well I found a bottle (still good to use) and I started taking it yesterday and

it really help with the pain. I was taking Aleve

but really didn't help with the pain. 

I asked my orthopedic Dr yesterday for a pain killer medication. He prescribe

800 mg of the Ibuprofen.  I'm under Working Comp and I don't know where else I

can get the medication.  

 

I have a broken screw in my ankle which the Dr refuse to take it out because if

they have to drill or break my bone and put the new screw in it may not heal the

same way. 

I was going for Physical Therapy and stop after 16 sessions and

have to wait.  I do have exercises to do at home. 

I just don't know what to do.  I feel like the Dr is not listening to me and I

want to go back to my other orthopedic Dr. (he's a cutie). I don't know what to

do.

I need to go the medication is kicking in and making me sleepy.  All feedback

are appreciated.

Hello Christa,

I have taken the 800 mg Ibufrufen quite often.

The Ibuprufen 800 mg is pretty good medication. It can be

effective at relieving pain with minimal side effects.

It is not addictive and does not give you any doped up

feeling.

It is fairly inexpensive as meds go these days.

My one side effect is some blurring of vision which goes away

after cutting back on the intake for a day.

The " war on drugs " is making it tough to get a number of

the commonly used drugs , like Percocet.

Good luck with the Ibuprufen and your recovery.

Hi! After my first back surgery, I was in agony for three months. I kept

calling my surgeon and he prescribed some neurontin, which did nothing and

then ignored me.

This time, (after 4 surgeries) I was sent to pain management. What a

difference! I never even knew so many different pain meds existed! When I

think back to that time and how much pain I endured for so long, I really

feel a little upset. Had I known, I would have gone to pain management.

So I think that's what you need to do.Good Luck!

Christa,

How long have you taken the Percocet? I have been on it for 2 years and don " t

have any problems with it when I take it with soda. But it could be that my

body is just so used to it by now because I do remember that it made my stomach

nauseous in the beginning. I would definitely take it with food and see if that

helps. I could not function without it. It brings my pain down from a 10 to a

6 most days. I hope it will do the same for you. Becky in Illinois
