Guest guest Posted February 10, 2011 Report Share Posted February 10, 2011 Hello all, Does anyone know if Tylenol w/Codeine is tolerable for Lewy Body Dementia patients? My Mom's ORTHO dr. told me the other day that Ultram is not a recommended pain med for broken body parts, arm, etc. As it demotes healing. He said by looking at my Mom's exrays on her broken arm (which is healing after 2 months now and she is able to move it some now, but still in constant pain), he said the Ultram hasn't affected her healing process. But he said if she could tolerate Tylenol w/Codeine Or Loratab he would prefer those 2. But he said since she is healing properly then to not take a chance of switching pain med's she could stay on the Ultram possibly if she continues to heal. He also said with the broken arm, it will never be like the other arm or how it was before, and she could live with CHRONIC PAIN for the rest of her life. Thank you all and God bless to each and everyone of you! in Texas Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
