Laparoscopic appendectomy- constipation.?

April 26, 2012 Carisoprodol
1 comment

My appendix ruptured and had to have an emergentcy laparoscopic appendectomy Tuesday afternoon. I was release from hospital Friday evening without having had a bowel movement. Since Friday, Saturday morning I passed a very small amount of poo and yesterday I passed a very small amount if poo. The doctors told me to eat normally since I could tolerate food but I’ve eaten at least three full meals in addition to pudding cups, applesauce and cup of noodles and still have not gone #2 very much. I’m afraid I’m going to start throwing up if i don’t dedicate soon.
I’m taking:
Oxycodone 15mg 4 or 5 times a day
Doc Q Lace 100mg 2 times a day
Carisoprodol 350mg 3 or 4 times a day
Amoxicillin. 875mg 2 times a day
Naproxen. 500mg twice a day

Anyone ad similar problems or know what I can do/eat to help it along?

Chosen Answer:

Well…the oxycods don’t help. Neither does the Carisprodol. Not going very much is better than none. If you STOP going altogether, then we can see the doctor again. Your body is messed up, not only from the infection, but also the surgery and meds. Give it a few more days. A little more fiber in your current diet to help you go. Metamucil is a great help for this.

Can a sore back be something more then muscle pain?

April 19, 2012 Muscie Pain Q&A

Boyfriend has been having pain that feels like muscle pain for a few weeks now. It turns off and on it seems. Somedays its worse then other days and then it will appear to be getting better then it will be bad again. It’s on the lower right side of his back. Could this be something on the inside besides muscle pain?

Chosen Answer:

Sounds like a probably brain tumor to me.

Protein supplements, muscle pain and possible kidney issue?

April 10, 2012 Muscie Pain Q&A
1 comment

I’ve been having muscle pain on the left and right side of my body in the ribcage area underneath my arms (lats) but the pain sometimes shoots into the front of my ribcage too. At first my doctor and I have come to the conclusion that the pain is muscle strain from working out. So I stopped working out about two weeks ago, pain went away, so I started taking protein supplements again 3 days ago but without working out and it seems the pain is starting to come back.

Does this sound like some sort of Kidney issue?

Chosen Answer:

Hard to comment on the protein issue – just watch out for the psychological angle in all this. Psychology can cause ungodly amounts of pain and distress – real pain too. And the pain will come and go without making much sense.

As you get older and older, you begin to realize that one heck of a lot of pain and distress isn’t “real” – it does hurt – but it’s some strange psychological deal the body gets into. You’ll notice that going to the doctor and getting a little reassurance will ‘cure” the pain – but it will come back later….

There’s a Dr. Sarno who wrote one very interesting book about this called “healing backpain” – you can get it for about nothing off of Amazon if you buy it used.

hey ive been having muscle pain in my right leg mostly when I’m laying down for a while. i herd that it could mean your pregnant is this true? or is it just i’m growing?

Chosen Answer:

I have never heard of that! But leg pain could be that your growing or possibly your potassium is low, try eating some bananas or something else that contains a lot of potassium.

Will Soma show up on a drug test?

March 14, 2012 Carisoprodol
7 comments

My grandma was having really bad back spasms a couple of nights ago, but didn’t want to go to the ER, so she took one of my grandfather’s perscribed Somas
(generic name Carisoprodol ) The next day at work they had a random drug screening. Now she’s worried that it’s going to show up on her test and since she doesn’t have a prescription for it she’ll get in trouble. Does anyone know if one pill of a 300mg Soma would show up on a drug test?

Chosen Answer:

Unless soma is an opiate, then i doubt it will.

drug tests like these are only used for illicit drugs.

PCP
mrijuanna
cocaine
heoine
and other opiates.

and NO, soma is not an opiate. it is a mild muscle relaxant.

she has nothing to worry about.

if for some reason anything was to show up, she can argue it and they will mandate that she have another test taken within a certain period of time. most likely with her doctor.

but tell her not to worry, it looks like nothing serious.

Can an excess of adrenalin cause muscle pain?

February 9, 2012 Muscie Pain Q&A
2 comments

When I have a very bad nightmare and I’m terrified and my heart races, sometimes it’s so intense that all my muscles hurt, but I don’t move while sleeping. It stops when I wake up and relax. Is it normal? Can an excess of adrenalin cause muscle pain?
Thanks everybody

Chosen Answer:

How do you know you don’t move if you’re asleep? Having spent some time in a sleep lab I can tell you folks do all sorts of unlikely things. However, even if you are still, epinephrine (the proper name) causes muscles to contract in a “fight or flight” state of readiness-this could very well cause stiffness and soreness.

carisoprodol for pain?

December 29, 2011 Carisoprodol
1 comment

i was in a motorcycle crash not a bad one but im super sore and awhile back my doctor gave me carisoprodol 350mg for some back pain. i was wondering if it be good to take it just stick with excedrin.

Chosen Answer:

Probably. Carisoprodol is a muscle relaxant. If you are not having problems with muscle spasms, etc., you could probably do without it.
Soma, the brand name of your medicine is good for certain muscle pain related issues, but I have a feeling it won’t do much for you in your case, hence bruising, and muscle soreness (not spasms).

Doctors are afraid to offer narcotic pain medicines, because of the very high risk of addiction. I suggest you work with Ibuprofen (Naproxin etc.) or other OTC pain medicine, and as long as you can tolerate the pain, and you are getting good rest, you will be fine..

how do you counteract carisoprodol (soma)?

December 11, 2011 Carisoprodol
1 comment

My grandmother is on carisoprodol and is having an extreme effect because she also takes opiats (vicodin) does anyone know how to counteract this muscle relaxer?

Chosen Answer:

Lots of doctors do not prescribe soma and vicodin together because of those “effects” Her doctor could change the soma to a different muscle relaxer like flexeril or Skelaxin… both medications don’t interact with the vicodin as much as the soma does. Also, soma usually only works well for a few weeks, then she will build a tolerance for it.
