Experiences with

Phorpain

He told me to take paracetamol and gave me a gel called Phorpain. He told me to get some better fitting shoes and an orthotic. I asked about where to get the orthotic and he just said the pharmacy. I asked about the Podiatrist at the surgery, he said it wasn't necessary.

My doctors have been giving me a lot of pain killers - the latest 3 weeks solid I have been using phorpain ibuprofen gel, freeze spray, was taking co-codamol, diazepam and lanzaprozole (to help with stomach pain from the naproxen).

Incidentally, I have a running prescription for "Phorpain Gel Maximum strength" which I use daily on the muscles of my arms, shoulders, knees and thighs. It can be used up to three times a day and certainly does help.

In them was amytriptyline which I ordered along with pethidene, metoclopramide an anti sickness drug and phorpain gel now my question is why? I have never asked for it and I don't know how to use them and it has cost me and I cannot get a refund because it's against law to take meds back.

He also prescribed Phorpain gel to rub onto the legs and arms. Apparently this takes up to a fortnight to work. Ouch! Ouch and Ouxh again! Christine Where do I go from here?
