Re: anti-inflammatories and pain relief

[Guest guest]

Hi Nancie

In reference to your pain meds, I take PIROXICAM 20MG once a day with 2 tylenol

with codeine every 6 hrs. It doesn't help much but I feel worse when I don't

take it. I know it takes the edge off to the point where I can not think about

the pain for a while.

I also know what you are saying about the non pain days just being a rest for

the pain to come back worse than ever. I actually had no pain for 7 weeks this

summer. I don't know what I did to stop the pain and I don't know what I did to

bring it back, but now it seems worse than ever. I also can't sleep with the

pain of laying in one spot. And I know about the really weird dreams that can

happen. They can be really wild! But your right at least we finally get to the

dream state!

I really need to find some sort of alternative pain

relief...any ideas out there? The vicodin doesn't

really do much unless I take 2 at a time, along with

one or two robaxin, and then of course, I'm pretty

well out of it for a few hours. I'm trying to

walk...5 minutes at a time is about all I can manage,

but if I do it 6 times a day, I've got a half hour in.

Trouble is, if you do too much, you end up hurting

worse for the next 3 days and you've taken 3 steps

back instead of 1 foward. I've been in a LOT of pain

lately, Monday I was almost pain free, but since then

the pain has been the worst I've had yet.

I got the book about the " Trigger Point Therapy

Workbook " but dh and I haven't had a chance to look

into it much yet. My " bzzzzz " or electrical shock

feeling is almost constant whenever I move, it even

wakes me up at night. My dreams are always that I'm

in the hospital after surgery and in great pain, or

that I'm in a wheelchair for some reason, and in great

pain. At least I'm sleeping enough on those nights to

dream!

Sorry to be so negative again today, I'm having a very

rough time. After such a great day Monday, I thought

this episode or flare up, or whatever you call them,

was on its way out, but it seems to have just been

resting for a day to gather strength and come back

worse than ever.
