gee aren't you glad you asked????  |
Yes, I am glad I asked............but so sorry you are so miserable. What can I get ya? How can I help??
I know exactly what you are saying about the pain meds. I have some back problems that come and go and the doctor gave me some pain meds, Ultracet and a muscle relaxer (Skelaxin) and when I take the combo, it really helps. Fortunately for me the doctor gave me plenty and the "mail order pharmacy" sent me more than I would use in a year!!! LOL
So how long the Dr. say this "serious pain" you are experiencing going to last??? Or could you tell him to give ya something a tad stonger??? Sometimes you can call a pharmacy, tell them what you are taking and ask them if you could take some tylenole or Motrin along with the pain meds. Sometimes they will tell you it would not be harmful but would make you sleepy. I know I've done that a couple of times with hubby when he had surgery and it really really helped him..........BUT I called the pharmacy and talked with the pharmacist. Might be worth a try so you get relief AND don't run out of meds.
So what can I do to help with your boredom????
