Re: Help! So much pain.(Whine)

[Guest guest]

I thought Skelexin was for inflammation, not pain. You might check out

the OTC pain med that Theresa had listed at Wal-Mart. That and the

Solanpas Pads.

Skelaxin is a mild muscle relaxer. As for the pain med... I haven't

heard of the one offered, but Percogesic was recommended by

someone on one of my other lists (although it's just acetamorphen and

an antihistamine...)

I bought the salonpas today... hope they work!

> 1. While it is wonderful to share our experiences with everyone on the list as

to what treatments do and don't work for us, pls always check with your dr.

Some treatments are dangerous when given along with other meds as well as to

certain health conditions or just dangerous in general.

As far as I know, Skelaxin is a muscle relaxer of sorts. At least

that's what I was told. Have I been using it wrong?

Well that's not good. Have you tried taking some

Aleve? It is Naproxen (which my doc gave me for my

pain) and it will at least help make your knee feel

better. I hope.

And you are not whining. You are in pain and we all

need to complain about the pain we are in every once

in a while. And isn't that what this group is for?

Get some rest and I hope you feel better soon!

If I can't serve as a good example, then I guess I'll just have to serve as a

horrible warning.
