Sorry to hear it. Hope you get to feeling better soon.

Hope you get better soon.
Take good care.

Philip,

a high power supplement of vitamin B-1 should help you get over the pain. (B1 300 mg sustained release, two or three times a day, with some calcium as well) Throw in a b complex (50 or 100 mg of each b vitamin) for balance with the B 1.

That's the emergency handling that works every time I have a back pain. Should work in a few days...

Hope you can rest and recover soon. Hope you find some relief.

hope it gives you a break soon; i can relate!

B1, B6, B12 combination may be worth a try.

Sepp, what a great idea! I had heard that thiamine/B1 was good for pain, and apparently a lot of other things.

Hope you feel better soon

yes, the b-12..i increased my B vitamins this week with my back pain

Hope you're better Philip.
I've already took same vitamins B injections.
It was a psychiatrists who have prescribed me. It didn't work.
It was drug-induced. Now I can see.
He didn't believe the strange feeling in my legs. It looked like a my legs were made of rubber.
Instead of prescribing me the injections he only had to LISTEN to me.
If he had asked me when did I started to feel that way I would have answer that it was after Tofranil... blah blah blah...
I have a collection of side effects and withdrawal in my mind.
How do we deal with this? CBT?
I'm writing it because now I can see the whole picture.and it hurts, hurts and hurts
Diagnosing side effects. This is one of the great problems.
"You'll forget it." They say.
Hey! I has affected my life and my health.

Take the vitamins Philip. It really helps.
Let us know if you're better.
If it's sciatic I've been there (the real thing) it and is hell. It's been more than 10 years but I remember there was no comfortable position. One day I remember I kept walking on the living-room.

:( Feel better soon.

Philip,

Good luck with your recovery. Pain drugs can be a bitch,

Dan

You know, I have to wonder if this is God's way of telling you to stop being so reckless in your attacks on anything pharmaceutical. Maybe, if you're lucky, a drug company might develop a better pain reliever. It's like the cops. It's always easy to criticize the police until you need one.

Patty

Well, Patty, if it wasn;t for this site most ppl prescribed CYMBALTA FOR PAIN wouldn't know it is an antidepressant trialed for incontinence where a young woman killed herself in the Lilly laboratory!

There are pain killers, and then there is pharma re-packaging and pimping out failed drugs like Cymbalta (depression hurts!)for knee and back pain.

Ask anyone rx'd Cymbalta for pain if it worked!

I'm glad I don't believe in Patty's god. He sounds quite nasty.
