Default A lot of medication!

Hi Saffy

Glad to hear that you are over your op now and doing well AND able to go on holiday....well done!

You are on a lot of meds as it is. Do you find any side effects from this amount of medication? Do you get much relief from all the meds? I know I have Tramadol, Amitrypteline, Lidoderm patches, Baclofen and Neurofen and also the SCS and with that combination I function as much as I can. BUT......and I do say a big BUT!!!! I do have side effects from them. I do have a prescription for Valium but decided not to take it as Im dopey enough as it is with all the other meds .........

I did have injections over the years but never did find them of any use. Im wondering if you dont get the relief you need from that amount of medication would injections even help, let alone 'numb' the area you need. Maybe just getting to your holiday resort and taking in the warmth and sunshine, anything better that this dismal weather we are having, might just be the medication you need.....just a thought!

We go on holiday for a week in July to Greece and I want to ask my Doctor at the Pain Clinic if there is anything else he can do for me just so that ONE week can be more easy forme.

I am already on Morphine, Tramadol, Amytriptylinne, Valium, Tamazepam, Omeprazole and Prozac .... I was hoping for some sort of injection to numb the area???
