Painkillers, advice please?

[Northie]

Morning all,

I take my Levo at about 5 in the morning. How long do I need to wait until I can take pain killers please?

I had dental work and a nerve was hit and I'm in agony but afraid to take a tablet yet as im not sure what I can take or when. I've got paracetamol in my bag.

If anyone could advise as soon as poss I'd be grateful as I'm in agony. Thank you.

Thank for the link. It led me to think I shouldn't take anything at which is a bit of a bummer as I have a whole days work ahead if me and my face/head is agonised.

Sighhhh...

Thanks for taking the time todo the link.

When I have been in agony with tooth problems... ( Abcesses). I haven't given a second thought to whether I should have painkillers near to thyroid meds. Never caused any problems. I always liked co proximal, but they stopped it in favor of co codemol, which makes my feel dizzy and sick....

Hitting a nerve usually kills it.... When I had the freezing stuff injected into the roof of my mouth he hit a nerve and part of my mouth stayed numb for months..... I kept biting my tongue...

Commiserations....... :-(.

Thank you. It is rather unpleasant.

Northie, 2 hours away from thyroid meds is fine, but like Galathea, pain relief for toothache would trump thyroid meds and I'd take pain relief as and when I needed it. I hope you feel better soon.

Hi I Take my co- codamol at the same time as NDT with no problems. I sympathise with your tooth pain

I find straight ibuprofen (or even the dreaded aspirin) hits the toothpain spot - however mine was taken out and I no longer suffer, but eat slower- 2nd worst pain Ever!

for any adverse effects - see drugs.com (I avoid co-codamol - exacerbates horrid constipation)

PS er since supplementing Vit D had no tooth worries. J x
