Alternative to ibuprofen
I'm 6 months post sct but my platelets are taking a long time to recover( only c40) so I'm not allowed ibuprofen or aspirin. I use paracetamol for most pain however I sometimes get muscle spasms in my neck/shoulder which I found ibuprofen treated. Does anyone know of an alternative painkiller that

ibuprofen gel
Currently unable to contact a pharmacist or doctor. Does anyone know of a topical pain killer gel I can take whilst on anticoagulants? Apparently, ibuprofen gel is a no-no. Thanks Thanks everyone, pharmacist confirmed I can use Deep Heat, Heat Patches and or, paracetamol.

Diagnosed 3 months ago
ear admin thank you for letting me join this IBS site as it may help my husband to understand it, and me too. So about 3 months my husband was diagnosed by a doctor over the phone, and also to see a doctor at the surgery as he had been having tummy troubles. My husband has been prescribed Mebeverine

Wife's in Chronic pain.
Wife is bed bound with an ongoing degenerative spine condition which is causing chronic pain. Our doctors will not subscribe the only effective pain killer which is Fentinol Patches. Other patients in our area whom are in less pain are prescribed patches so we feel really upset with Doctors actions

Sudden painful lymphnode on neck
Hi all,I have been on W&W for a couple of years now and all good for now in terms of b symptoms with only slight enlarged lymphnodes. However, a few days ago a lymphnode on the left side of my neck has suddenly enlarged and become extremely painful- I cannot even touch it. Could this be CLL related or

Does it get worse
Hi, I have had Tinnitus my whole life or at least as long as I can remember. I didn't realise that it wasnt normal until a few years ago. I am not sure how I ended up with it, my up bring was very stressful and my mother would often give me high stress painkillers to keep me quiet. I have read some research

Tramadol
This is some background. I was recently diagnosed with enlarged prostate. My general health is not good as I had a Triple Bypass and Mitral Valve Repair and also, last year was diagnosed with Heart Failure. I’ve also got Severe Spinal Stenosis which has returned following a Failed Laminectomy Spine

Ampyra
I have been on Ampyra/Dalfampridine for about 4 years. I am thinking of stopping as it is expensive. What effect may it have on my MS? does anyone have any thoughts?

Suggestions for pain and exhaustion 2 weeks after radiation to C3?
Hi, I had 5 radiotherapy sessions with cyberknife on the C3 about 2 weeks ago. I noticed after the 1st session that the pain on the right side of my neck got more and more intense, from my neck down through my right shoulder. On day 4 I didn’t think I could make the last session, but I was pressured

Knee and Thigh pain

Sitting down fine but can't put much weight on them. Have app with doctor next week but in the meantime I wondered if

Painkillers
Hi, sorry for my second post in as many days! What painkillers are safe to take with prednisolone please? I'm assuming paracetamol but wasn't sure if anything else was OK to take? I suffer with a lot of migraines (after effects of having a blood clot on my brain several years ago) and the best thing

Advice needed and a bit of a moan...
Due to other problems my Practise Nurse sent me for a scan last year during which it showed that I have a fatty liver. I have asked for tests (as suggested by BLF Nurse)but these were turned down by the GP who said if anything gets worse it will show in the annual blood tests. I would change GP but there
