Which is best pain relief?

Hi

I am on 3600mg gabapentin, 400mg of tramadol and 400mg of paracetamol daily.

it doesn‘t get rid of all the pain, but helps me get through the day/night.

hope this helps

Hi

I suggest one thing that works a treat for me, its a herbal remedy its not legal and you can smoke i hope you understand.

I know many people will object to this advice but i have tried EVERYTHING !!

Now i take no pills whatsoever

It really depends on the kind of pain. If it's muscular / skeletal for example in the lower back, then regular pain killers. But if it's neurological pain, (I get a constant ache in my legs and occasionally electric shocks) then pain killers won't have any effect. What can help with neurological pain are anti-depressants and anti-epilepsy medication. He should speak to his doctor about this.

Hi

I have CES and I also have Psoriatic arthritis and Fibromyalgia and a diabetic.

I take Lyrica ( pregabalin) Tramadol Paracetamol plus lots of other meds. I was referred to the pain clinic which was a total waste of time. The pain never goes but there are good and bad

 days. There really is no medication that can take all the pain away . When its BAD then I stay in bed. Better days sees me up.   

I hope your partner can find relief . Pain is so wearing

Hi naomiyeo

I got struck down with Cauda Equina Syndrome in January.  Had emergency decompression surgery and discectomy etc.  Since then I have had virtually a year pain and ignorance from medical "professionals".  If there is a possibility of a med cocktail then I'm sure this would qualify as one.  My daily tablet muching is 3900mg Gabapentin 3 x 900 1x 1200, 1 x 500mg Naproxen every 12 hours, 2 x 30mg Zomorph every 12 hours, Oramorph 5-10 ml as required for breakthrough pain relief, 75mg Amitriptaline night time, 40 mg Citalopram mornings, After the operation I became anemic and was severly low on Vit D3 so had a 20000iu of D3 for 7 days and 800iu daily on top of 5mg Folic Acid unfortunately these started becoming non effective and I found myself having to take more to cover the pain.  After a few weeks of keeping a diary I stopped
