Pain Meds
I have tried the usual pain meds (Loratab, Vicidian, ect.) and I had bad reactions to them (nightmares, bugs crawling on my skin and breathing difficulties). My Doc has switched me to Talwin NX and I am able to tolerate it and it seems to takes the edge off the pain most of the time.
I don't like taking it unless I just scream with pain. I guess I am lucky because I have a very high pain tolerance so I am able to just redirect my thoughts by keeping my mind and hands busy. I have several knitting projects I work on as well as playing Scrabble on my DS. I know it sounds crazy for a 42 yr old to play with a Nitendo DS but it works for me.
You might want to research this particular med to see if it might be an option. Hope this helps. Good luck to you!
