Pain Killers and Pain Management

[Guest guest]

Hi Guys,

Well I've just been told by my pharmacist that the pain killer I use, Empracet, is no longer available. The generic is Emtec and is available but it doesn't work for me. These are the Acetaminophen with codeine type The pharmacist said that it might be that the tablet is harder to digest so I'm not getting the full pain killing effect. So I have some questions for the group.

What meds do you find effective for pain relief?

Any suggestions for pain management?

I've used the Emtec before and had no success and now I've been on it for several weeks and I'm ready to scream . I'm so frustrated with the pain and I'm ready to do anything to get rid of it. I can't stand for any length of time, even sitting here for the few minutes that it takes to type this, my tailbone and hips are killing me. I'm open to any suggestions that anyone has so please let me know. Thanks guys

Elaine in pain!!!

Hi Elaine,

I take Vicodin or Percocet, depending on the level of the pain.
