Hi Snoopy,
This is probably a lame suggestion but here it is...

I take 800 ibuprofen - for me it has to be the prescribed one - taking 4 advil is not the same for me and bothers my stomach. I have tried tons of muscle relaxers, lyrica, neurontin, anaprox, and others. But nothing works like that 800 ibuprofen.

I have leg pain and weakness.

I've been offered all kinds of pain meds and I just keep turning them down - I'm with you - I don't want anything addictive.

I have a friend who works for a compounding pharmacist - and he was telling me that they can make all different kinds of pain patches, sublingual pain meds, and oral meds which combine more than one medicine to make their action stronger at a lesser dosage.

Don't give up trying to find a solution. My pain really wears me out and changes me. It's tough.

There is no suggestion I would consider lame at this point

Thanks!

LDN

Yes, I know and one of many things I will bring up to my neuro in May

Hi, Michelle.

I do know from the blood work my kidney function is good. I don't have any pain in the area of the kidneys, my PCP has checked a few times.

I was supposed to go back for a follow up pelvic ultrasound and the gyn wanted them to check and see if I have both my kidneys - I never followed through, at that point I had had enough of doctors and testing - just stick a fork in me I was done. Probably not the best decision I could have made

Peeing blue - now that could be entertaining

Brain, I am sooo glad you found something for your pain. I will certainly ask my neuro when I see him - Thanks

Carrie, I'm just not ready to head for a pain clinic.....yet
No, I have not tried Neurontin. My current neuro felt Lyrica was better. One of many reasons I'm headed back to see my original neuro.
