pills. please answer seriously :(?!


Question: Pills. please answer seriously :(?
So I have severe sciatic pain right now and can barely move. Can't get up to go to the bathroom and I'm alone and have noone to call as I'm new to the area and my closet neighbor is 1mile away. I have been prescribed Baclofen (muscle relaxer) and Noproxen (anti-inflammatory), but am scared to take any because I'm alone and nervous about pills. I called a cab and went to the hosp last night, they gave me a shot of toradol worked) and told me to start taking my pills. I can't take them, I'm terrified of taking a reaction while I'm alone, but I absolutley can't get up right now. What should I do?

Answers:

Naproxen is a standard non-steroidal anti-inflammatory. It's similar to Advil, but longer-lasting, so many doctors prescribe it. It's available over-the-counter here in the States. The only side effect you could have with it is an upset stomach, and that is pretty rare.

The Baclofen is to help stop the muscle spasm that is causing the nerve pain. It should help quite a lot. It's likely to make you sleepy, but that's about the only side effect.

I would start with the naproxen to see if it helps. If it doesn't, you can add the baclofen.

You can also call your local pharmacist for help.

I'm a pharmacologist.



seriously you need to take those pills! if the doctors gave it to you then it wont kill you because they know what you are allergic to and the side-affects of the medicines. and if you cant move eaither because it hurts too much or because you physically cant. if it hurts too much then try to get over it and take the pills but not too much (obviously), and if you physically cant move then call 911



take the recommended dosages and you should be fine, if you have any severe reaction to them, call 911.
