Why arent my painkillers helping?!


Question: Why arent my painkillers helping?
I was presceibed percocets for scrodal contusions( i got kicked in the balls) and it says to take 1 but it doesnt help so i take 2 and the only thing its doing is getting me high... What should i do?

Answers:

If the Percocet is not working on the pain, don't take it~ it was prescribed for pain relief, not a high and I'm willing to bet that once the high wears off you're pretty miserable. Since the prescription came from the ER, they are not going to be able to help you with this so you'll need to contact your regular doctor if you feel the need for an alternate prescription pain reliever.
I think you may find that Ibuprofen will be very effective for you as it's an anti-inflammatory, something Percocet is not. The application of ice for 20 minutes at most every 1-2 hours may also be helpful to you.
