Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Claudine, Well that just sux!!! up to 2 weeks is unacceptable for the immediate needs. Why didn't my doc tell me this? I took the EXTRA EFFORT to tell him that I was starting work MONDAY and needed something to alleviate the pain and stiffness. What a ditz I am for not asking. I ASSUMED he spoke English and I ASSUMED he wasn't DEAF DUMB OR RETARDED. Jeezus, sometimes I get REALLY miffed at the people who PRACTICE in the medical profession. They must get their goddamned credentials out of CrackerJack Boxes. I sound miffed? Yep, I'm miffed and this dude is gonna hear about it big time if I am not getting some relief this Monday. I think we should have a nice little " satisfaction rating " system. Oh.. still in PAIN? well lets SHARE!!! sheez Totally **** amazing. What part of this world am I not understanding? I had to chase his ass out the door to get him to finish listening to me as it was. I should have known then. Lunch was more important than my pain. Well, I see the light! I am ENLIGHTENED. And this dude will be come Monday, in no uncertain terms. I hate to go looking for a new doc, but by golly he's gonna get a few earfulls next week if this stuff isn't working. I don't HAVE to have pain meds. I DO have to have something that WORKS when I need it. I just don't see what is so difficult to understand in that. OK OK I'm off my high horse lol. alley the majorly miffed (and stiff, and sore, and pffffffttttttttttt) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 23, 2001 Report Share Posted June 23, 2001 Hey, don't give up on it completely!!! I was just guessing! No doctor has ever said it took 2 weeks, I was just thinking about chronic inflammation, and making a guess! Don't go by only what I said. And, if your pains really are being caused by inflammation then even if you need something else RIGHT NOW, the Vioxx may still help on a longer term basis. It works for me, but not in and of itself, and not completely. I've NEVER found anything that works completely, all the time. But between the Vioxx and taking a Flexerill every night I am in much, much better shape (pain wise) than I have been in years, and the times I need MORE don't come nearly as often. Good luck!!

But they don't get their medical degrees out of cracker jack boxes....they know they have been elevated to the position of " god " when they finish school which puts them above us ignorant patients...after all, we don't know what we are talking about or what we are feeling.

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 ---------- >From: " Alley/Pat " <alleypat@...> > > Well that just sux!!! Shall we take the guy out back and shoot him? To the point-Pat there is probably not going to be any long-term immediate relief. Claudine mentioned Flexerill-that does work wonders for the muscle pains, and it is a very cheap drug. I believe the generic version is around four or five dollars for 30. Unfortunately, if taken for prolonged time, the body builds up tolerance to it so you have to take more and you know how docs are about prescribing higher doses of things for pain relief. You are barking up the wrong tree in depending on doctors to help you much for pain, especially with all the ruckus going on now about Oxycotin! There are some foods such as pineapple and apples that contain extremely useful compounds against pain. 'Pineapple contains bromelain which promotes circulation and helps the body to reabsorb the by-products of inflammation, helping you heal faster...'; 'Bromelain's actions are reported to enhance serum fibrinoltic acitvity, ihibit fibrinogen synthesis, degrade fibrin and fibrinogen, and influence prostaglandin synthesis.' The previous statement means that it helps the body's process of breaking down the fibrin clots formed in certan immune responses and inhibits formation of new fibrin clots, also that it is anti-inflammatory. Canned pineapple is a cheap way to get this. But it will only help-not correct the problem. If you opt for a supplement- 'Bromelain strength is measured in " milk-clotting units " (mcu) and " gelatin-dissolving units " (gcu). Look for a bromelain product between 1,200 and 2,400 mcu or 720 and 1,400 gcu. Try 250 mg, three or four times a day, 1 hour after meals'. Don't take with ACE inhibitors or anticoagulants. I take the pills, I just can't eat pineapple every day! Pineapple and apples (apples more than pineapple) both contain malic acid. Again, I have opted for the pill form. Quite frankly, this is the supplement that I have found the MOST effective for my paticular pain problem. It is extremely helpful, but not the end-all of pain. I have dealt with the cryo pain since childhood. I am doing very well now, but I have had to work at trying things on my own to get where I am now, nor can I give up any of these things without the pain coming back (except perhaps the weight training). I weight train 4 days a week, take my supplements, add the Alleve (4-6 per day) and an occasional Flexerill and I do not have the terrible days that I did before I realized that 12-15 aspirin a day was not normal. You might try a heating/massager, that can work fairly well, especially when you hit the right spot in the right way. You will feel a tickly, tingly, good-feeling run up the nerves and sometimes that will knock out the pain for a while. Swimming also helps, swimming with fins is best. I have found that if I can walk around (like parking as far away from the building as I can, going to the bathroom downstairs and using the stairs, etc) as much as possible at work I do better than when sitting in one spot for hours on end. Anyway, here some ideas for you. Do not get discouraged, there will be a routine that will work for you. It is a matter of finding it. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted June 24, 2001 Report Share Posted June 24, 2001 Thanks for the ideas Gail! I'm sure I'll make it. You know, when I haven't had the joint pain for a whole year while I was on treatment, I'm thinking maybe I'm making too much of it. Maybe it isn't really that bad and it's just cuz I was pain-free all that time. Heck I'll tell myself anything to keep my feet from hurting lol. Today it's my feet and ankles cuz I been standing and ironing all day. Well it won't kill me! And I'm sure with time I'll find what does work and doesn't work. Yall have a great week! alley Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pat- I remember when I first started on the Alleve. It was one pill in the morning and one pill at night. It was heaven. I was pain free at last! But I began to build up tolerance and probably by about month two was at the maximum dosage of six Alleve a day (3 in AM, 3 in PM) and was back in pain again. But, after that taste of pain-free living, it has become a quest for me to get back there again. I do fairly well now, Monday was a bit rough as Sunday I stood for several hours in the kitchen. Standing for long periods of time is a real killer. But I know your frustration and anger in wanting to get back to pain-free again. Don't give up. Hopefully your new job is going well. gail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
