Leg Pain / Cramps

I have MPL/ET on Peg @ LD Aspirin, for pain relief I take co-codamol & co-drydamol. I’m getting really fed up of this pain.I have MPL/ET on Peg @ LD Aspirin, for pain relief I take co-codamol & co-drydamol. I’m getting really fed up of this pain.

Where do I go from here?

I was on Co Codamol for a while and then prescribed Pregabalin which didn’t suit me at all so came off it. Went back on the Co Codamol for a while again and was then prescribed Pramipexole by a different doctor, it was only when I got home that I realised in was another DA.I was on Co Codamol for a while and then prescribed Pregabalin which didn’t suit me at all so came off it.

Change of painkillers - advice needed!

I managed to stop Co-codamol completely two weeks ago, no headaches now, much better BUT my pain is a problem. My doc gave me Naproxen 500mg twice a day which hasn't helped.I managed to stop Co-codamol completely two weeks ago, no headaches now, much better BUT my pain is a problem.

Co-codamol causing headaches?

I have been taking co-codamol 30/500 one capsule four times daily for the last two years and was wondering if this could be causing my headaches. I take this for a long term back problem. I have read about medication overuse headaches, you see. Has anyone else had this problem?I have been taking co-codamol 30/500 one capsule four times daily for the last two years and was wondering if this could be causing my headaches.

Now what? Take co-codamol!

Anyway, been to GP today and she basically said take co-codamol as there’s nothing else to do! I forgot to add that when I went back to see the gynae for a follow up on Mirena fitting she said that because I still had pain it can’t be gynae so off I go!Anyway, been to GP today and she basically said take co-codamol as there’s nothing else to do!

Sulfasalazine

I’m still in a flare up and unfortunately Prednisolone and steroid injection hasn’t helped so relying on constant co-codamol :-( I would love to hear anyone’s experiences.

Painful left shoulder

I've tried taking nurofen and Co-Codamol but they haven't helped much so far. I've also tried to take jointease (that's a supplement), turmeric and magnesium.I've tried taking nurofen and Co-Codamol but they haven't helped much so far.

Co-codamol

Hi I'm on a strong dose of Co-codamol 30/500mg and it's damaging my hearing and also causing tinittis. Has anyone also had this problem?? If not be warned taking it between 1-4 years can cause hearing loss that could be perminent.Hi I'm on a strong dose of Co-codamol 30/500mg and it's damaging my hearing and also causing tinittis.

Trying to get used to Cpap mask

I also suffer from polymyalgia which is inflammation of the muscles and am on pain patches and co-codamol, unfortunately the patches fall off in hot weather and co-codamol gives constipation so lactulose is my friend now and again.I also suffer from polymyalgia which is inflammation of the muscles and am on pain patches and co-codamol, unfortunately the patches fall off in hot weather and co-codamol gives constipation so lactulose is my friend now and again.

Have to laugh

I took one dose of co-codamol and wished I hadn't- nearly fell over! And changed the bloody dressing- to find I only had large dressings at home- look like I have been to a Halloween party. Hoho- lots of learning points. MI took one dose of co-codamol and wished I hadn't- nearly fell over!

Desperate Sufferer

I’ve now gone up from 8mg to 10 mg, no relief from pain thinking of going up to 15mg. l’ve seen a rhyme no help whatsoever only interested in getting me on lower dose of prednisolone but not offering any other form of meds other than Co codamol.I’ve now gone up from 8mg to 10 mg, no relief from pain thinking of going up to 15mg. l’ve seen a rhyme no help whatsoever only interested in getting me on lower dose of prednisolone but not offering any other form of meds other than Co codamol.

Pleurisy

Been put on prednisolone for 5 days (6 a day) and 2 weeks of yet another antibiotic doxycycline for 2 weeks, inhaler and co-codamol. On my 2nd day, my question is how long before I can see an improvement and when can I expect pain to go? Didn’t realise this condition is so painful.Been put on prednisolone for 5 days (6 a day) and 2 weeks of yet another antibiotic doxycycline for 2 weeks, inhaler and co-codamol.

Cocodamol & Bisoprolol

My mother who takes Bisoprolol for AF has taken co codamol for the last 24hrs and randomly fainted today. I was called to her community centre as was an ambulance. She is ok and the cause was put down to low BP poss brought on my stress (we have had a family bereavement recently).My mother who takes Bisoprolol for AF has taken co codamol for the last 24hrs and randomly fainted today.
