Hey Aussiegirl, when i first read your post the first thing that came to mind is you are having an allergic reaction. And i know what you mean when the pain pills are not helping only taking the edge off. It Sucks!!! Don't worry about complaining i do it all the time and that is why we are here for each other, i feel better already cause i was able to tell someone that these diseases that we have SUCK!!! I was put on a new muscle relaxer that has me in a fog along with my lyrica and this stupid sinus infection and i can't really focus right now so if i don't make sense i apologize now.
I am sorry you will not have any pain relief are you able to call your docs exchange and possibly get something eles called in to a pharmacy. I take vicoprofen for the pain and inflammation. I have been on it for yrs and discussed taking other meds with my pain mang doc thinking i am building a intolerance to them cause i have to take so much and he agreed and said we may have to switch till i get my hip situation fixed, but the fool wrote out my scripts for my usual med. Doctors get on my nerves sometimes.
