Thats a question that you should really ask your doctor - both to make sure there you don't end up overdosing on the combination, and to check any interactions between the drugs. Also if you are needing to take more than usual pain meds, you should probably be checking in with your doctor and letting them know.

Hi I agree with Earth witch and check it out with your doctor..

Have you tried heated pads or stretching out a little to see if it helps your symptoms. Other people find ice pads help better on their painful areas. I find that the warmth and resting helps me but if I stay still too long the pain is worse so I move around a little. Where are you sore tonight? Could you talk to your Rheumy nurse tomorrow and ask for advice cos when I'm in that amount of pain they generally think I'm in a flare and give me a steroid jab which makes me fell so much better in a few days. Good luck and hope you get some rest tonight. Love Axx

Your local pharmacist can also tell you whether it is safe.

I'm using a Tens machine to "top-up" my pain relief when I've taken what's been prescribed and I still need something.

The local pharmacy here will loan a Tens machine to try first before buying one - I was rather sceptical that it would help, but I do find it useful and I bought one of my own.
