Is there Something I Can Take?

[Chrissy1968]

in regards to pain meds, I cannot take them. I am on a med that has an opiate blocker in it called; Naloxone. Yea i take Suboxone, Im not a heroin addict or anything. I take it as when I was 18 I had my first Lapprotomy as I have Endometreosis. I had 11 Laps and another 3 yrs ago which makes 12, total. I had been on and off Opiate Pain Killers all those years and when I was not on need of them and off totally I was NOT feeling myself and my primary doctor suggested I go on Suboxone as something in my brain which makes Dopamine levels stay normal, that this would do the trick and I would feel myself again, So I went to another doctor who perscribes it and I started it 3 yrs ago and I feel myself again and "normal" whatever normal is? LOL But yes, IDK if there are pain meds out there that people can take while being on this medication, I heard there is from someone else who was on Suboxone and hurt her shoulder and was in need of pain relief. So IDK how true that is but I am hoping as if something ever happened to me real bad that I need pain relief on the spot that there is something out there in the medical world that will help!

I look upon pain as my body trying to tell me something.

I can't take any drugs.

When I get pain I usually massage or move the area.

I also breathe into the pain.

It can be that I am hungry for a particular nutrient or thirsty or have done too much and need to ease up/tired.

I always try to find out why I have the pain and I use therapies on myself that help, which I have learnt like neuro-lymphatic reflex massages and reflexology.

If you can't take the drugs you are probably very sensitive and therapies may be able to help you like they do me.

I am very sensitive especially to EMFs and I need to keep moving to discharge the electricity. I use relaxing exercises, too, like meditation.

Naloxone will work against tramadol in certain situations, although the effect is much weaker.

I think a pain specialist is needed with these complex issues.
