Guest guest Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 You know, when I was in the ER before being admitted, they gave me tramadol thru the IV and OMG, it took ALL the pains away. I didn't realize that they could actually prescribe it in pill form - that may be something I need to explore for the break-thru pain because it worked quite nicely! Darlene I was washed out, tired and in constant all over body pain today. It was bad. I finally got tired of it and took a mixture of meds and it did work.... but it is too much I am sure. > > Ok.... I took a total of 15mg of Hydrocodone, 440 mg of Naproxen, 650mg of Aspirin, and a Robaxin muscle relaxer. ALL at once. It did it for a while. I was able to move without pain finally, participate in life with my kids a little bit instead of laying on the couch like a pile of lifeless matter, and I even bathed my little boy and cleaned to kid's bathroom. I cleaned the toilet, the tub, the sink, the counter and the floor and the mirror. That was alot for me. > > Just saying, it seems it gets harder and harder to put symptoms at bay. I could have chosen to not take all those meds and just lay on the couch. But just for today, I took that amount because that is what it took to get me out of pain. I took some tramadol last night and a couple of flexerils because I did not want to take any more hydrocodone after work. I also put some icy hot all over my legs, arms and neck and upper back after my mineral bath last night. I woke up feeling just as crappy as I did before I went to bed. Well, so be it. I guess if I have to concoct some formula of pills once in a while to feel half way functional, then I will. I know that any one of those meds alone would not have done a thing for me. But together, I got some results. > > It is also not good to take naproxen and aspirin together as they are both anti inflamatory drugs and also are anti platelet drugs can make you bleed. But, I don't do that every day. > > Well, Thanks for listening, > hugs, > Debra V. > > --------------------------------- > Looking for last minute shopping deals? Find them fast with Yahoo!
