Guest guest Posted August 11, 2008 Report Share Posted August 11, 2008 S. Yes the back pain stays about an 8-9. Thus evolving to the patch. I've been on so many pain meds and the majority of them I either am allergic to or have the side effects and have to go to something new. I'm really hoping this patch will work. I go in on Wed and Dr will up it a bit. I'm on 50 mcg and that's fairly low. Do your pain meds help you? MamaSher, age 69. IPF 3-06, OR. NasturtiumsDon't fret about tomorrow, God is already there!

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 The Darvocet does. The stuff for inflamation not so much and it makes fluid build so that is no good. But the Darvocet does well. > > > > > > Hi S...

Guest guest Posted August 12, 2008 Report Share Posted August 12, 2008 NSAIDs Ironic that this subject is being talked about as I was just at my new nephorologist and one of the things she did was hand me a sheet that listed all NSAIDs and said do not take them. As far as her and kidneys it was steroids goos, NSAID's bad. Now note that this is for me, with some renal abnormality. But she said I could take tylenol as needed and up to 2 aspirin per day. I think it just shows how everything has some risk of side effects and we have to be alert based on our conditions and reactions. Thats like the problems people have had with NAC which would generally be considered to be low risk. > > > > > > > > Hi S...
