What pain medicine do you all use

[Guest guest]

My husband has CMT. He had major surgery on both feet in

2000. Since then he has noticed an increase of pain in his

legs. He describes it as constant " aching " . He thinks it is

as a result of the surgery since that is when he started

noticing it and I think it is just the disease continuing to

effect him.

He has always complained of extreme fatigue, but that has

ended since he started taking Melaleuca vitamins (they have

a much higher absorption rate which increases his energy).

He is amazed at the difference in his energy level; however

this has not helped the pain in his legs.

He takes 2 Lortab 5.0 1-2 times a day, but he doesn't like to

take such strong pain medicine everyday. His orthopedic

doctor says it is ok and it won't hurt him to take that much.

He explained that pain is just a part of the disease and that

is just what he needs to do to. What type of medication do

you all take for pain???

Thanks so much!
