Pain Relievers? Do they work for you?!
Question:
Pain Relievers? Do they work for you?
Well, while I was looking at a pill of vicodin that I was about to take for back pain (I hurt myself by slipping on a wet floor...), I thought about how efficiently OTC pain relievers work for different people. So I wanted to post a question on here and get people's opinions.Do Over the Counter Pain Relievers such as Aleve or Advil or Tylenol work for you? Do they relieve your pain? Do you feel the relief coming on? The reason I ask this is because I have a prescription of Vicodin that I had for a previous injury, but I never finished the bottle and I still have another refill left. And when I take a pill of vicodin or two depending on the level of pain, I feel the relief coming on and it hits me strong. I know Over the counter relievers are nowhere as strong as vicodin, but I want people's personal input. I went to the pharmacy and I got the strongest non prescription pain reliever, so I got Aleve 220mg Naproxen, it didnt work for me, I felt no pain relief. Now you tell me
Answers:
Side effects are a real problem. You could be damaging your kidneys, etc.
What you could do is to try a Yahoo search for "side effects" + ------------ and check out each pain reliever that you are taking.
