Experiences with

Co-codamol

I had my laparoscopy a month ago and have a lot of pelvic pain even after one month taking two co codamol three times a day but still have stool leak and anal pain.are these normal symptoms after surgery 😢

Also heard that co-codamol can make you feel groggy in the morning. Would love to hear from anyone as to exactly how many painkillers you take and when. Thank you to anyone who takes the time to answer cmjoyce

, morphine etc and again I told them no all I wanted was medicine to help my swelling. 2 years later, been completed ignored by my rheumatology team, doctors been told not to give me anymore prednisone so I finally gave in this morning, started taking co-codamol.

I buy Co-codamol 8/500 from chemist for the pain which I take when it gets too bad . Not sure if there’s anything else I can take or should I try the doctor again Any advice much appreciated.

I've only tried ibuprofen, paracetemol, naproxen, codeine and co-codamol (over the counter strength) for pain relief and co-codamol works best to take the edge off. Unfortunately it makes me feel like a zombie (!)

Hi all I'm on here trying to help my 27yr old son who has chronic fibromyalgia, he is on 8x 30/500mg Co-codamol a day but struggles terrible of a night with sleep and severe pain, any help would be so grateful.

Co-codamol is what I have here (and paracetamol) but I know I have to be careful. Any advice please? Wendy

Feeling rather tender from the procedure as you can imagine and have been given co-codamol as painkillers. However, this has of course effected my bowels and I’ve not been able to open them.

I had quadrupled my normal 2 co-codamol tablets up to eight a day but they seemed to have little or no effect. On Monday morning I gave in and rang the doctors and had an appointment the same morning.

Well just been signed off sick from work pain and exhaustion so bad, gp has upped my gabapentin and put me on co codamol I feel so sick on them, phoned citizens advice regarding pip does anyone else receive this can my husband claim carers allowance?

After going for my six monthly checkup with the RA specialist, she has suggested I stop naproxen and switch to co-codamol, which I reluctant to do. Has any one been in the same situation, and been prescribed an alternative anti inflammatory? Chris_0

Dr has given me co codamol but they're not helping. Thanks

Paracetamol to kill the pain, but hasn't worked, so on Co-codamol. Increased Omeprazole to reduce acid, but hasn't worked. They haven't referred me on under the 10 day rule.

I understand that Zapain is a generic, has anyone found it inferior to the Co-Codamol. Thank you to everyone who replies, this site is so helpful with amazing people who understand.

Hi all, after my diagnosis of osteoarthritis my consultant advised of referral to a pain clinic as has another medical professional after further assessment, my GP has only prescribed co-codamol , has anyone else heard of pain clinic and do I need to push my GP for referral.

I have had to resort to morphine patches and co-codamol to try and kill the pain. This is seriously painful to say the least and the toes on my right foot have a bluish tinge !

I am now taking all four plus co codamol and naproxen occasionally. I would have expected to be able to function but my hands are still very stiff and painful and am very fatigued. I have had to give up my job because I can no longer meet the demands.

Does anyone have any advice as ibuprofen and co codamol are not touching the pain and I don’t know what to do? Anyone else in excruciating pain following this procedure? I have also been told I have deep endometriosis stage 4 x

Doctor said to increase Prednisolone by 5mg and prescribed co-codamol which haven’t helped at all. Is this my first flare and have I got away lightly until now? Grateful for any advice please.

I'm ET JAk2, take Aspirin, 15 mg Prednisone and co codamol or similar pain relief for spinal stenosis. At present take Ruxolitinib but have to stop it immediately. Good and bad comments re Anagrelide would be appreciated. Many thanks.
