I don’t to take too many pain relief pills so i was wondering about how many pain relief pills do you have to take to kill yourself.
AND NO I’M NOT SUICIDAL. I am just scared that i might accidentally take too much.

Take the amount that is directed on the bottle and no more. In case you haven’t seen the news lately plenty of people die just taking a few extra pills along with something else.

I take hydrocodone, oxycodone, morphine sulphate, Soma, and Neurontin every day for a spine injury and I know that as long as I don’t mess around with them I will be fine.

Do yourself a favor and don’t try self-medicating.

I have been in a pain management program for several years and have seen far too many people ruin their lives taking pain medications more that recommended by their doctor.
It really is a bad idea.
Hope you feel better. If the pain meds that you have don’t work at the dosage directed then talk to your doctor before changing anything.

Really, I’m not preaching, I grew up in Southern California during the sixties so getting high is nothing new to me. But when it comes to heavy duty drugs like pain meds it’s best to listen to the guys that know. Your doctor

Ten million adults suffer from chronic Back Pain and one million seek a surgical fix every year, but back surgery with less pain and less recovery time? Sounds too good to be true?

Doctors at Georgetown University are working on the procedure that could help.

Lateral Interbody Fusion or X-Lif involves a small incision in the patient’s side over the hurt disc.

X-rays guide tubes down to the spine using special tools to avoid muscle and tissue damage.

They’re locked into place with a flexible arm so the doctor can fuse the spine.

Recovery is four to six weeks instead of six to 12 months and patients are often walking within a few days.

Have you thought about wearing a SACROILIAC BELT (aka SI BELT or TROCHANTER BELT) around your pelvis? What it does is that by providing the correct balance of resistance and resilience, the SI belt re-establishes the joint’s normal motion, thus relieves stress and instability at these weight bearing structures. The price of SI belts are in reasonable range these days, average cost is about $40 USD. I know a lot of people who wear SI belts, and I’ve read some astonishing testimonials about it. There are many si belts out there, but Serola SI Belt seems to be the best one as far as quality, comfort, and price are considered.

Hope it helps, good luck to you!

I hurt my back when I was sixteen (three years ago) at my first job (had to lift things, wasn’t given any training etc) and instead of getting better it is now far worse. Some mornings it takes me about half an hour to be able to straighten up and when I lean over to do hoovering or leaning over a desk it can bring tears to my eyes when I try to stand up again.

Have you had any miracle cures? I can’t go to a doctor as the appointments are hard to get and you have to – eugh, you know. There are nurses for this on a monday afternoon and nurses for that on a wednesday morning and it’s very complicated and a total waste of time.

I’m a chiropractor, so – have you ever been to a Chiropractor? There are great ones in England. You may have to pay some yourself but at least you’ll get a lot for your money,. Also, what do you do for exercises? Won’t get better without those. Sounds like you have more than normal problems in your back – time to take care of it.

I just extracted two of my bottom wisdom teeth and i the doctor didn’t give me a prescription for pain relief medicine. Can you guys recommend what i should get?

As a dentist myself I always recommend Motrin (Ibuprofen), this is the best Over The Counter pain reliever as it will not only help with pain but will also help with inflammation. I usually recommend that my patients take between 600-800mg for ages over 18. Also try an ice pack, this will help numb the area affected and help with inflammation as well. If the pain becomes severe you may want to consider calling your dentists emergency number for advice or to have him/her call you in some narcotic pain medication. Good luck and feel better soon!
