How long does it take for whiplash to go away? How do you alleviate the pain?

February 28, 2013 Muscie Pain Q&A
1 comment

I was rear-ended by a car going about 25 mph last week. There is still so much pain in my neck and back, especially my left shoulder blade. Neither ice nor heat help. I’m taking a prescription pain-killer and anti-inflammatory medicine for the muscles, but the pain isn’t going away. What to do?!

Chosen Answer:

Whiplash can be difficult to treat.

Sometimes the major symptom(s) won’t hit till much later as in weeks or months!

In the mean time, you may benefit from some passive range of motion several times a day to keep the ligaments from healing “in-correctly”.

I’m taking a prescription pain-killer and anti-inflammatory medicine for the muscles, but the pain isn’t going away. I’m fairly young, so this should heal fast and not hurt as badly, but it’s hurting A LOT. What can I do to make it hurt less?!

What prescription is better for severe back pain?

Is Robaxin or Soma better for muscle relaxation and pain? Which one is stronger?

Chosen Answer:

Connie, I underwent a spinal fusion one and a half years ago, and I have more than a casual understanding of what is meant by the term “back pain”. Robaxin or Soma, you asked. These are easy to look up in the browser of your choice. I Google the medications that are prescribed for me, and I haven’t been disappointed yet. Try it, and don’t take any advice you might be given on this blog. Drugs are chemicals, and they have to be treated with respect. Aside from just asking your doctor straight out, I cannot imagine any other advice to give that might be beneficial. I hope you are not getting these drugs illegally. That would totally change the complexion of the question you asked. I wish you luck. Severe back pain really hurts. Mike

Parents: What if you found out your teen/young adult was misusing or self medicating with pain killers?

What would you do?
How would you handle it?

Say your 18+ living at home was using pain killers to treat a back muscle/severe pain issue but was taking them everyday and getting more without a legit prescription.

What would you do?

Chosen Answer:

People who self medicate are doing it for a reason. If back pain is an issue, then physical therapy might be needed. You have to look at what the root of the problem is in order to address the problem and solve the self medication issue.

can crushing 2 soma muscle relaxant 350mg aka carisoprodol and drinking it with orange juice every night cause organ damage? i ask because i have a friend who does it every night before she goes to bed and i told her to stop but she insist it’s fine that she does it all the time this is not a troll question and no troll answers
also my friend is 5’9 210 pounds
i want a simple yes or no or a detailed answer nobody tell me to get her help or she will die that is not a answer to my question if you can’t answer this question with a yes no or with some detail then go find a question you CAN answer correctly
also my friend recently has been less hungry she normally eats a lot and she told me she only eats once a day now if shes hungry and shes full when she eats or drinks just a little bit of anything and she mentioned having trouble going to the bathroom she said shes always tired does this have to do with her crushing the pills and drinking them with orange juice?

Chosen Answer:

Genertic, Any that u take for years runs the risk of Liver damage but it takes a lot, ur Liver purifies the toxins from the body, I would not worry right now but later down the line it can, Soma is a pain medication but used for several other things. It’s never a good idea to crush or chew pills unless perscribed by the doc. Best of Luck

Can I take Prescription medication before a Fluoroscopy?

May 7, 2012 Carisoprodol
1 comment

Im getting a Fluoroscopy done for IBS and and am prescribed (not for the procedure, for years before), Xanax and Soma, (alprazolam and carisoprodol, respectively).

The fluoroscopy prep indicates nothing by mouth for 12 hours before the procedure, and both these medications wear off well before 12 hours, so will it mess up the Fluoroscopy if I take my medicine 45 minutes before the procedure so I will be feeling my anti-anxiety and pain medication and not have to endure the medical procedure in panic and pain? Or should I crush up the pills so they won’t show up on the Fluoroscopy X-ray Machine? Don’t worry both medications are not time released so crushing them up is not dangerous, and I am VERY experienced and tolerant to both anxiety and pain medication

I plan on taking 2mg Xanax with 1050mg Soma 45 minutes before my fluoroscopy tomorrow morning. Both medications have the best bioavailability via the oral route, so other ROA’s aren’t an option.

Anyone with experience with a fluoroscopy, IBS, and hopefully similar situations please share.
Also on a side note, is it too much radiation for this continuous x-ray imaging procedure to be dangerous?

My father is taking several prescription medications at once and I was wondering if it is harmful short term?

and long term? He is currently taking Carisoprodol 350mg, Hydrocodone 10mg/500mg, Lyrica 75mg, Trazodone 100mg, Ambien CR 12.5mg, Oxycodon, and Ropinirole 1mg. He takes these every day and has takes some of them multiple times a day. He has back issues and gets shots in his back every 6 months for it but, I am just wondering if there are side effects of taking all of these at once and if you are supposed to take these medicines for long periods of time because my father has been taking these for over a year now. Thank you.

It is the same doctor that has prescribed him all of these medications at once.

Take this list and ask your local phamacist. They are the experts on drug interactions and should be aware of all the drugs someone is on when filling perscriptions.

i know i asked this before but it worries me
this question is about my friend not me ok?

Chosen Answer:

Soma is recommended for 2-3 weeks with the maximum single dose of 350mg. The drug is metabolized by the liver and excreted through the kidney; taken in recommended dosages the drug poses no threat to the body. Soma can cause mood swings and personality changes so the changes you’re noticing in your friend can be a result of the medication. Being tired all the time can stem from taking too much of the drug which is causing a need for extra sleep she isn’t getting. Too tired, no appetite and the cycle continues.
Your friend is very fortunate to have someone like you who is concerned about her welfare. If you have the opportunity to read the label on the medication and find she isn’t following the directions, you can be an even better friend and notify the prescribing physician. While they are bound by confidentiality laws making them unable to discuss patient information with you, they should be willing to accept information concerning a client’s well-being. The information you have to share will give them the opportunity to help your friend without mentioning your name. Doing so removes you from having to have a confrontation with your friend; if the doctor doesn’t supply the prescription, she can’t take the medication. There are alternatives.

legality of buying OTC medications (OTC in mexico,) from an online mexican pharamcy, to be delivered to US?

April 5, 2012 Carisoprodol
2 comments

There is a medication called carisoprodol. It is a schedule IV controlled substance in my state (GA)

I have a prescription for 90 of them each 30 days, for neck pain due to muscular pain in my neck. However, I lost the bottle of medication (I actually did, no lie.) So now I’m stuck without any of them. I don’t want to talk to have to pay for the medication without insurance, because that’s a pain in the butt (my ins. only covers a single prescription of each thing to be filled once each 30 days, so I’ll have to pay a lot for it.)

BUT! Turns out carisoprodol is legal in mexico over the counter (like advil is here in the states.) I want to know about the legality of buying it from an online pharmacy (like you can buy advil from cvs.com,) and having it shipped to my house.

Is this a problem? Is it illegal? What would the repercussions be if I were caught and it is illegal?

Can someone tell me about their experience with this sort of thing (I know people buy Viagra while in Mexico, then bring it back, but not about buying it from like cvs.mx [which doesn't exist].) Or if someone does post a response, can they add a link to something from a .gov website?

Chosen Answer:

You’d be charged just the same as any other drug smuggler. You would be obtaining restricted drugs illegally, and every cop and judge would believe that you either took too much medicine, or that you sold your medicine.

It will be cheaper to buy the medicine without insurance.
