Hello,
Monday the wife and I painted the living room ceiling, she trimmed the borders and I stood on the floor with an extension and rolled the ceiling. Have been sore, stiff, throbbing and laid up since then. Have not increased the methadone and lyrica intake, is there an otc pill that might help. Thanks

My husband finds taking magnesium helps after working too much.

This happens for him mostly in spring with the yardwork.

I doctor is really good to work with me on these kinds of days. He give me samples of Lyrica, you know the 75mg ones so I take one of those and 2 50mg tabs of tramadol and 800mg of ibuprofen. Sometimes this doesn't help but others it really knocks the pain out. I don't understand why it works only part of the time.

I'm just looking and trying to understand Peripheral Neuropathy.

And I do have flares whether from this or something else. And nothing
seems to help mine. So I am hoping to gain insight.

Marty your doctor gives you lyrica for flares? It was my understanding that since lyrica is an anti seizure medicine that it was dangerous to take only once in a while.

I take the extra Lyrica on top of my daily amount.

Mrs D recomended Aleve liquid gels otc. Not for my PN/RSD pain does it help me but for the aches I get I guess it surrounds it so to speak and my head aches I take it and it does help sometimes more then other OTC for me. Thanks Mrs D again and maybe try that. The liquid ones though.
