RE: I really need your help, I have no where else to go :(
Also if you have insurance there's a topical ointment called Voltaren, I use on my shoulders and hands. It's like a miracle, but it's really expensive... my doc has been giving me samples. You also need a prescription.
Thank you, I have used it, I use Lidocaine patches from the Doctor but thank you :)
I live on oxycodone and coffee (and methadone)
Coffee does help lol. I live on Naproxen, Codeine, Lyrica, Duloxetine and more lol
Codeine is a joke... They tried that when I broke my back... I took 28 of them in a day and still hurt so they gave me oxy. Now I take 110 mg of methadone and 120 mg of oxy a day (and I still hurt!)
I am being slowly taken of codeine over 2 years
It doesn't do any more good than aspirin.
I have tried everything, one thing that did help was Morphine but I am allergic to it.
Morphine seems to wear off after about half an hour. Methadone is good because it lasts about 24 hrs (I take it 3 times a day) Then I take Oxycodone (30 mg) 4 times a day for breakthrough pain. I guess I'm lucky, I broke my back really bad in '85 and the orthopedist said I'd be in a wheelchair in 5-10 years. I've got RA in my hands and feet and OA everywhere else, plus bursitis in my shoulders. Without my meds, I can barely move, but I refuse to quit!
