PAIN IN THE ... ANYWHERE .....

[shasha]

I WA IN PAIN LAST NIGHT - WOKE UP AT 3 AM WITH AREAL SHOCKER OF A HEADACHE - AND IBS - I TOOK IBUPROFEN AND PARCETAMOL - NO EFFECT - IT WAS ONLY WHEN I TOOK A DOSE OF MODOPAR THAT I WENT BACK TO SLEEP - SHIULD I BE TAKING EXTRA STUFF THOUGH ?

Tricky one I am not qualified to answer that one, but if it worked maybe your Doc could advise you or listen and learn from you. I suppose it depends on the effects of the side effects consequences and whether the pain killers worked in the end etc. sorry probably no help at all.

thaks anyway carrigan - i def think it was the modopar though as i have taken it prior to going to bed when i have the dresded neck pain !!!

shasha, I know what you mean about neck pain. It seems to be my latest symptom. I bought a cloth rice bag that I heat up in the microwave and wrap around my neck. It is the only thing I have found that brings some relief. Meds like Tylenol or Advil do not help at all. Let's face it...Old Parkie really is a "pain in the neck"!!!

Were could I find a bag like that? Is it on the internet?

[GrammyC in reply to SandyRose]

There is a label that says EARTH THERAPEUTICS on the bag. I think they are sold at a pharmacy, but I bought mine at Kohl's. Maybe a spa supply store would also have them.

[SandyRose in reply to GrammyC]

Thank you, thank you, thank you! We only have 3 Kohl's in the area, so I hope it will be easier than I thought.

My mom has neck pain as well and she has some sort of prescription topical cream to put on it.

I hate to sound all stodgy, but I would Strongly recommend having an in depth discussion with your doc(s) and pharmacist to discuss the problem, and the solution...Best wishes!
