Ultram + valum or some other benzo, ultram helps a lot. If you are getting sick you are addicted but you probably know that by now, and if you are going through them to fast then one of 2 things. Either you need a new dr who will perscribe you what you need cuz your tolerance has increased a lot, or you are, yes, i will say it, taking to much medicine. Methadone helps too if you can get some of that and Butalnorpine, but imo that doesnt help as much. Best possible solution is methadone but kinda rough to get unless you know any who goes to a clinic. Being sick, even off pain pills is no fun. I'd call your doctor, a different one maybe complain of some sort of moderate pain that tylenol advil isnt helping and say you dont want to take narcotics because  you dont want to become adicted but is there anything else you can take? and get some ultram to last you through, it wont fix ur sickness but it will take the edge off, Ultram works like an opiate but isnt an opiate.. pretty confusing actually.. but that's what I would do if ya dont think you can get more pain pills right now.

I am going through the same thing right now.  You can try swishing warm water with a little bit of salt in it anytime it starts to hurt, extra strength tylenol, and try putting heat or cold on it.  Heat seems to work for me but it may be different for you.

could be cluster headaches...they feel like migraines. could even be tension headaches. they can be terribly painful too, and are usually caused from neck and shoulder pain working it's way up into your head. i don't know how you got away with ganking some morphine, but i wouldn't advise attempting to inject yourself again...seriously. you don't know what dosage to give yourself, and morphine is not too fun of an experience...it causes most ppl to vomit harshly, which will cause you a lot more pain. if you're not injecting in a sanitary way, you can get an infection and get really ill.  i really do understand your pain...i have migraines and cluster headaches...tegretol might help you. other meds to ask about are, talwin, neurontin, ultram, even methadone...i've had to use all of them before. these drugs are highly addictive, and you have to be managed by a doctor.  you may need to have a cat scan to see if something is wrong in your brain, and causing the headaches. cat scans are not scary or painful, and they don't take long to perform. i hope you get some relief soon. take care.

There are doctors who specialize in managing withdrawal from medications. You may want to consult one of these as opposed to asking your pain management doctor to manage your withdrawal. After all, his or her specialty is pain management, not withdrawal. A good specialist will taper you off your medicine so as to minimize withdrawal. Don't stop taking your medicine cold turkey.  Your primary care physician should be able to recommend a withdrawal specialist.

Go to a pain clinic. They specialize in these problems. You are taking too much medicine and your tolerance to it is building up so that you will need more and more.

That is tough. Tough to deal with and tough to get rid of. I've had something similar that is due to problems with tight muscles in the neck and muscle spasms that produced very sharp pains, like a knife going into my head.  I went on physical therapy ordered by the doctor, for two or three months. Things seem to be better now, but not cured. The doctor gave me a muscle relaxant to help and said that I should call when the pain gets too bad so that she can order pain medicine. \n\nThat is one possibility. Another was mentioned and that is sinus problems. I thought maybe that was my problem, but it is not. From what I read in WebMD.com the sinus gets clogged and then infectant.  You need to go to an Ear Nose and Throat (ENT) to take care of this. I would think it would be a wonderful and welcome relieve, worth going to the Dr.\n\nAll the usual causes have been mentioned. It does hurt to try some cures or pain reduction.  I like the stress reduction tapes or discs, but you probably can find a book in the public library that will help you find a way to reduce stress. \n\nI found that Ibuprofen (ADVIL) works better than the other pain relievers on the shelf. Don't take asperin as it can make a mess of your stomach.  DO NOT overdose on Tylenol. That is easy to do as many people think its OK to NOT follow directions since is ONLY Tylenol. Actually it is a drug that can kill if the person takes too much.  Additonally, there is the ingredient of Tylenol in other drugs. It is possible to overdose with that combination.\n\nGood luck and remember to go to the doctor if nothing works. Ask if there is anything that won't put you to sleep, if they want you to take a pain killer.

Well you're gonna be cross, you're getting one mean monkey off your back!\nTry some relaxation excercises, or go to the store and buy some Celestial Seasons Tension Tamer tea and sip on that. Will help improve your mood and make you less tense.\nThe overall withdrawl symptoms will last around 2 weeks, so bear with it and keep up the good work! You may be a bit grumpy but you have MY admiration for having the balls to even try. \nIf someone says something to you, just make sure you let them all know that you are trying to quit smoking and apologize for your testy behavior. They will  understand and support you during this time......be patient with yourself and cut yourself a little slack because you will get past it!

get plenty of rest and drink lots of fluids. you want your body to be able to work hard on flushing out what made you sick

Tough Qustion.  How bad do you want to be healthy? How motivated are you? Get high on life and go out with friends, start exercising and watch your bod change! Just do something else you have the spark for.  You can also get "regular" pain relievers that aren't addictive!\n\nGood luck!

Pretty quick, but a key is this, drink a HUGE glass of water before you go (keeps you from dehydrating which slows anesthesia down.  And take two tylenol or motrin before you go.  Stop off at Walmart, get some generic ibuprofin (motrin) and take {200mg every 4-6 hours for every 70 pounds you weigh.    IE if you are 140lbs take 400 mg} thereafter for a week.  It will keep the inflamation down

I get Remicade infusions every 8 weeks for Crohn's Disease, administered by a nurse in my doctor's office.  You'll probably start to feel better within a couple weeks of getting the first infusion.\n\nMake sure you take benadryl and tylenol before your infusion.  The nurse will probably give you this once you arrive for your infusion.  If she/he doesn't, ASK for it.  This helps to minimize the risk of side effects from the actual infusion.  Also, with crohn's disease, we're told to take immunosuppressives on a regular basis so that we don't build up antibodies to the Remicade.  Make sure you ask your doctor about that.\n\nAlso, I take a DVD and watch a movie while I'm being infused.  Because of the benadryl, usually I fall asleep partway through the movie.  Because of falling asleep, you might want to take a driver with you until you see how you feel after the infusion. \n\nIt is a pretty expensive drug, btw, so check to see how much your co-pay will be and where your doctor wants your infusion to take place.  I found out that if I have the infusion at the endoscopy center of the hospital, my co-pay is $1800(!!) for each infusion.  I can't afford that every 8 weeks, so my doctor wrote a prescription for me so that I can get my remicade at my local retail pharmacy and then I take it to my doctor's office.  This way I only have to pay $30 for the remicade and a $30 office visit co-pay.  \n\nDoing it this way means I have to call the pharmacy a week or so ahead of time to order my remicade since they don't keep it in stock at most retail pharmacies.  It needs to be refrigerated, and I've got a little cooler that I use to carry the remicade to the doctors.\n\nGood luck!  I hope the remicade is your miracle drug!

I understand what you are talking about. I have suffered with severe pain most of my life. Probably because I was 'allowed' to feel tired, but not pain, I now feel pain as exhaustion. Extreme exhaustion. \nFollowing some back surgery I was given vicodin. One pill and I suddenly felt OK! After I had healed from the surgery they stopped my prescription and suddenly I couldn't find the energy to move. A very thoughtful doctor who understood what was happening has renewed my prescription and I use it VERY sparingly, aware that any misuse will result in my losing this key to some kind of normalcy. I have been on it for several years. When I begin to feel like I am dragging and can't move anymore I take a pain pill and suddenly I can think and work.\n\nTry discussing this with your doctor. If he doesn't understand, look for one who does. Don't give up becuase you know by now that there is a problem and it is up to you to make others see and understand it.\nGood luck.\n\nBTW, I have tried most depression meds. They have had no effect. And unfortunately, most pain pills don't have much effect either. But the pain and the depression are connected.

you can't really take anything, other than maybe an aspirin if the pain gets too much. Just try stretching more before and after you play. The pain will usually go away in a few days.
