RE: phenergan and vicodin and THANKS

[Guest guest]

Wanted to update everyone on the pain I was experiencing. I got so many

helpful and supportive emails. The day before the severe pain set in, we

were almost involved in a car accident. We were the first car to be able to

stop in time with out being involved. It was a pretty bad accident. People

got hurt. We were VERY fortunate.

Anyway, the doc says that I probably tensed up and then had the sudden stop.

The pain was mostly do to muscle spasms. The nerve block really helped with

the pain, and now I am back to how I was before. Moderate pain that I have

had all my life. Nothing I can't handle I guess. I don't take any pain

killers now, just my usual muscle relaxer, anti-inflammatory, and Tylenol or

Aleve.

So I wanted to send thanks to all that replied and especially to those who I

didn't get to respond to personally. Each message was very helpful, and I

apologize for not emailing everyone individually.

Here's to a good week!

Vicodin & Phenergan

> I ended up in the ER last night for severe neck pain. First time in the

ER for this for me. I was suprised that the staff took me serious and

actually listened to what I had to say even though they weren't very

familiar with Chiari, Stenosis, or Dysautonomia.

>

> I got a shot of Demerol and Phenergan and was sent home with a scripts of

Vicodin and Phenergan. The bottle says that the Phenergan is to be taken

with the Vicodin to increase pain relief. Anyone else given this combo?

>

> For the last three days now, the pain has been unbearable. I am in so

much pain, much more than I have ever been in. And, I have no idea what set

it off. I have always had neck pain, but never this bad. I can't even

hardly sit up from a lying down position. It hurts when I take a deep

breath, I can't move my head top the side at all.

>

> If this terrible pain is what many of you suffer day in and day out, my

heart goes out to you! I have spent all day drugged up with drugs that

barely touch the pain, and I am so discouraged. My neurologist won't be in

the office until Wed. and I know I will run out of pain meds by then. If

the pain sticks with me much longer, I will return to the ER.
