oxycontine 20mg takes the pain and gives you a trip like you wouldn't believe! most people get sleepy, i was able to pass for functioning normally even though my head felt it was doing 360 spins and i felt like i was stumbling....

How hard was it to get the script? Did you have to see a specialist or just regular GP?
 
Easy to get hooked on to isnt it

Warm bath shower water bottle anything that releases a long lasting heat will give the best relief as well as a few pandiene forte and this n that and what that other member suggested you'll be well relaxed to couch surf, don't forget the Tim Tams

Degen lumbar spine here ;) gotta love that sciatica.
 
Hey lady if u need rapigel tell me now and I'll bring some home with me for Sunday Xx
 
I've got a TENS machine (electronic acupuncture for those who haven't heard of them) and find it great for sciatic pain, once it stops hurting I can get into the stretches

I was in a Country Clothing/Saddlery retail shop last week, and found something I'd seen on the tv a long while ago and forgotten about. It was hugely praised for it's pain reduction properties in many people, with no end of problems of differing severity. It's called Rapigel, and on the outside of the jar, states it's for animal use only (predominantly dogs and horses). However, even the girl at the checkout said she uses it for the arthritis she has.
Unable to believe my luck, I bought a jar of it, (I suffer greatly with back pain for three quarters of it's length, degenerative at the bottom half, and arthritic upper half, bad hips, knees and a shoulder!) Soon as I got home, I put some on, the alcohol in it was quite obvious, but wow, after a short while, I found my back pain was greatly reduced, and I was able to stand up without my knees screaming!! AND I was able to walk around pain free!!

I highly recommend this stuff, many people use it, it just isn't advertised for humans cause the correct testing and all that hasn't been done on it. People have bystepped that, and use it anyway. Great stuff.

Yes, this stuff is great. I work in the freight industry so do a lot of lifting and hoping in and out of trucks, was given a sample of Rapigel and it seems to take the edge of the pain (was great before I had my knee op).
Now 1/2 of my work are also using it.
Good Luck.
 
I was on Tramadol for less than 24 hours last week, but when I woke up ready to vomit and in pain I decided it wasn't working too well. Went back to panadol-based pain relief. This was temporary pain, however, so not in your league. I get migraines, so I know what you mean about not being able to think when the pain is so bad. If there is a degenerative condition, you need to save the big guns like oxycontin (highly addictive opiate) for as late as you can. They are for very short term or end stage pain relief. For short term relief, heat or cold is a good option and won't stuff you around like drugs. Try acupuncture, too. For massage, make sure they know about your condition, as it might flare up with the wrong handling. In severe pain conditions, sometimes they can cut nerves to the area if necessary. It is drastic, but can. make a huge difference. I hope you can get to the pain clinic soon, because they are really the experts you need. Lots of sympathy.
 
If you can make it to Robina on the gold coast there is a GP clinic that has managed to bulk bill acupuncture. I've been there a number of times, and they're pretty good, especially since its free.

It is my opinion that oxy's shouldn't be used unless all other alternatives are exhausted. I was on the 80mgs a few years ago, 3 days on was enough to give terrible withdrawals, no sleep and continual vomiting for about 24 hours. In any case, tolerance is achieved incredibly quickly.
 
I have a terrible back, kills all the time. I used to get pethadine and valium injections and lived on endone and panadine forte, id eat a whole sheet of panadine forte a night and tried massage, accupuncture and the on ly thing that helps me is hanging upsidedown by the ankles. Try it, it is the best thing in the world in my opinion. You may want to ask your doctor if its suitable for you though.
 
Inversion frames or gravity boot were all the rage in the 80's. Not sure if they are still around. I had a play around with them but the blood pressure in your head from being inverted took some getting used to.
 
im actually very surprised the "medicinal mary-jane" made you feel like crap. were you on other meds at the time?
 
go to the doctors and see if you can get some voltaren rapid 50 they are great i use them for my back pain and works a treat
 
I missed some of these responses. You guys are amazing! TBH I wasnt expecting such great responses on a herp forum but it goes go show that pain really is a universal topic.

Tenns machines are something Ive looked at but didnt get because of the outlay expense. I wil consider now though considering my pain relief bill is going up anyway.

Ive tried voltarin 50's with no success.

One of the memebers on this site is taking me to the doctor this arvo!!! Its a doctor who can prescribe real pain relief!!! If it wasnt for her and APS Id be waiting weeks until I could get there!!!

Who'd of htought it! GOD BLESS APS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! hahah :D
 
I know how u feel. Ive been like that for 2 months now and nothing helps. Ive got a tenns machine and it doesnt help infact it makes the pain worse. The only way i can sleep of a night time is on my belly and considering im a woman yepe it can be hard. The pain in the leg is the worst of it (as soon as i sit down thats it) and in the back as soon as u try and bend down u know ull struggle to get back up. Honestly im so greatful i have the best fiance and parents. I cant even put my socks on for myself at the moment. Trust me ive tried almost everything. Panadine forte,tremal,oxycont all in which havent helped (after 8 knee operations nothing touches me any more) the only thing i havent tried is weed (im on other medications for high blood preasure) but the dr has sujested i try it. I go back to the drs again this arvo so im wondering what other options ive got left. Im 21 so im not heaps old or anything and no one can tell me why ive got it.

I thought I was too young to be living like this so to hear your story is beyond distressing.

What sort of predictions have they made for your pain long term?
 
have you looked into yoga?

after i crushed a couple of vertebrae in a snowboarding accident a few years ago i kept getting pinched nerves, boy dry to sweaty in half a second flat, it hurt so much i could barely breathe.

it was a fairly long process to get it sorted, (i went to classes forl about a year and picked out the exercises i found helped) the exercises strengthened the areas that needed it and i havent had pinched nerves for years now, it gets a sore if i stop the exercises for a few months, but i get back into it pretty quickly when the pain starts to get worse. (not just pinched nerves, but just [pain in general)
