Sorry to hear that LeeU. Might be worth going to the doctor before you go on holiday, maybe they can prescribe something to help ease it or at least manage the pain.
I don't do anything stronger than paracetamol if I can help it, had enough drugs etc when I had virtually back to back chest infections that stopped me running last time I graduated.
AHH, I take it you've never been to Egypt? As most people over there cannot afford to see a doctor their pharmacists are highly trained and can sell you just about anything over the counter should you need it.
Mrs LeeU has arthritis and has loads of drugs in the house, from anti-inflams through to heavyweight pain killers.
Hi LeeU, sorry to hear about your problems.😕 Just a word of caution about tablets etc: I’ve seen quite a few TV programmes where people take drugs that are legal here into a foreign country and have awful problems. Might be worth checking that whatever you’re taking is legal in Egypt before taking it with you? Just a thought, don’t want to add to your difficulties! 🙂 Take care of yourself. 👍
Providing you take proof you have been prescribed with the drugs you are normally ok, just don't take more than you'll ever need, like that couple did last year, I believe they took 400 tramadol, a seriously strong opioid.
