I severely fucked up my back just bending over and picking shit up, and it's been in a really bad shape for almost a week now. It hurts to sit, stand, I can barely bend my back in any direction, and I keep waking up at night when I turn into a position where my back hurts. I was first prescribed diclofenac and diazepam, which did very little to help. Now I'm on tramadol (and off the diazepam) but it's the pathetic 37,5mg with 325 of paracetamol. The pain is really distracting, and those aren't really sufficient, although better than the previous meds.

Where I live, hydrocodone isn't an option I believe, so I don't know what options I've got to ask the doc. Higher dose tramadol, maybe a muscle relaxant to go with that? I have this feeling the next ones up the ladder, morphine and oxycodone, are not commonly prescribed for back pains.

If it was a muscle strain it shoulda healed by now, though. I'm wondering just what's wrong with it.
 
I have Rheumatoid Arthritis in my spine, and it is very painful. The best thing that has ever worked for me is wearing a Lidocaine patch placed right on the area of pain. It numbs the pain, and you can wear one patch up to 12 hours.

I also vaporize cannabis as well. Both help me move around more easily. You may also want to ask your doctor about the Lidocaine patch. They can be very expensive if you don't have insurance, though, but they are very effective for pain relief.
 
I broke my neck and my back. I got LT 10s and flexeral. Those flexerals helped me out a lot. I try to keep them handy when my back or my neck start acting.

so you you got "exprim".... best course of action is to phone yyour doc, and ask for something stronger... after i got my 4 wisdom teeth removed i got APAP... sucks, if what uou're sayin is the truth, you should get hydrocodone APAP.... imo

As I said, hydrocodone is not available where I live.

Cannabis is readily available and can be purchased from shops (slight hint as to where I live =D). It helps, but it doesn't cover all the pain. I'm gonna go see the doc again tomorrow, see what he says.

Don't forget to ask the doctor about the Lidocaine patches. ;)
 
MY back is killing me today to my friend, I must have messed it up yesterday when I was workinh on something. I think that until you get a mri they will keep giving you lame meds for it.You just hope that something shows on it. But if you keep getting severe pain like i am there has to be something wrong. So if you have insurance you might as well get it documented so you can get it taken care of.
 
are dihydrocodeine or codeine available OTC? they may be an alternative though, i have never used them medically codeine is given for back pain as a starter around here.
 
Lemme get this straight an above poster just said that he BROKE HIS NECK and they only gave him 10mg HYDROCODONE? ARE U SERIOUS!!!????!!! YOU WOULD THINK YOU WOULD GET OXYMORPHONE AT THE LEAST for a BROKEN NECK what is this world coming to? I think it's about time we take back out worlds twisted drug views BY FORCE.................
 
not to be offensive, but u only hurt it from picking shit up .... mind me asking but how old are u?

if ur over 50 i can understand why uwant pain meds

but if ur young, u dont need them, ur body will heal...i know back pain does suck but trust me u dont want to start the hole painkiler thing if ur young this early in life...by the time ur older ull be taking extremely high doses JUST to kill pain.

if i were u (knowing i dont want to get into PKs) i would ask for codeine, and say i dontwant such a strong opiate like perceset or vicoden, but codeine is weak and will kill pain.

if not codeine, dyhydrocodeine...i think its called...its double the potency as codeine but with no ceiling effect, so u can take as much as u want to kill ur amount of pain

how old are u, and where are you from?

doesnt really matter...as long as u got them opies hitting ur receptors, ur killing pain


he has is opiate niave, or they would gave him something way stronger...or the doctor is retarded

and its not just 10mg, its 10mg every 4 hours, so hes getting atleast 40mg a day, could be even 60mg

I could have asked for codeine and probably gotten it, but I don't find it to be that potent and I don't fancy eating large amounts of APAP (nor do I want to do a CWE every time I take medication). Codeine also has a short duration, so I'd have to eat them often. Dihydrocodeine is not available here I believe, nor is hydrocodone, so the next step up from tramadol is probably morphine or oxycodone.

I think that might be excessive, but my current tramadol isn't quite sufficient. Now, my back pain isn't chronic (although I've had back pains before, and being quite tall I can imagine I may have them in the future), and I don't intend to keep eating painkillers. I just need something that will help me cope and be able to sleep until the strain heals, that's all. I am in my 20s, and live in the Netherlands.

EDIT: I forgot to ask about the lidocaine patches, as it was a phone conversation with the doc, but he did prescribe me the diazepam again to go in combination with the tramadol for muscle relaxation. That, and strong Dutch coffeeshop indica, are doing an alright job, but it still hurts.

I'm glad you are getting better pain relief. You can still ask him about the Lidocaine patches. I know you would benefit.
 
Well, I dunno when I'm seeing the doctor again or what she'll prescribe, but I was thinking - does anyone know of the analgesic strength of kratom? It's supposed to be opioid-like in its effects (although stimulating as well), comparable to codeine or hydrocodone.
 
There has been a huge amount of kratom threads in BDF. Kratom in fact does help with pain, just look up recent reports in BDF.
 
It is crazy what these doctors prescribe for pain. Last year I fucked up my back at work (I do Labor) .I was stuck in a down ward position, couldnt straighten back up. A crazy amount of pain. Went to the first Dr., he gives my skelaxin, I dont even think there was a active ingrediant in these fuckers. I didnt feel a ting of a diffenence. Needless to say I ended up at another DR. Got the Mri and everything, I messed my Lower right Lumbar something or other real bad. Finally the Dr gave me some better meds but its pathetic do these dr. know what they are doing I swear some of these DR. are Dumb a dogshit. Anyway about three days ago I fucked it up again, Im in crazy pain right now, I take 150mg of methadone daily anyway and that doesnt even help out at all. I swear I could go for a handfull of Xanax and soma right now...
