I have been on and off Vicodin for months now due to cervical spine surgery. My pain is in control now and I don't feel that I need the Vicodin anymore. It has become a daily routine though and I am worried about the withdrawals I may have if I don't take it anymore. I am on day two now of not taking it and I'm feeling fine. I don't think it is that simple though. Am I going to get sick?

Nevermind why, but will aspirin help, or will that irritate it more? It is just irritated. I don't want to take an antacid b/c that causes weight gain, and I know it from past experience. Ugh I can hardly stand it. Hot drinks seem to help temporarily.

Recently, I went in for surgery on my shoulder and right befoore they put me under the knife, I was given sleeping medication through IV and I had no recollection of ever being in surgery. I am wondering what was the name of that medication please ? Also the night my shoulder dislocated and the dr. came in to pop my shoulder back in place, I was given a very wonderful meducation through IV and it was very fast acting but wears off really quickly too. What are the names of those two very different sleeping medications please ?

Hi - after my CT scan and blood tests came back fine, i have been referred to a neurosurgeon for my headaches. The headaches are on the left side of my head,above the eyebrow and become increasingly painful (almost like shocks) throughout the day and when i am asleep which wake me up. Has anyone else ever had this sort of headache before and what other tests will a neurosurgeon do that my GP hasn't already done. Thanks

I've had this cyst in my wrist for almost 6 months (from when I first noticed it). I went to the doctor he said give it time, but from what I understand it's possible cysts can call your wrist home for quite some time. I just recently began getting a pain in my wrist, nothing severe, just uncomfortable. Would it be wise to bust it using a hard book? Also, how painful is it to bust it using this method?

Friends, I am in Singapore for the past 5 months and i have tried all sorts of treatments for my chronic condition of back pain for almost 1.5 years. I tried Chiropractic, Physiotherapy, massage, Yoga, ayurveda, homeopathy, laser acupuncture, etc. But i have not even had a wee bit of relief. I am living with pain for almost 24 hours for the past 1 year. Can someone point to the right place in singapore? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks
Ram

My dad has had a history of Liver problems, he went into the hospital due to neck pain and was givin a priscription of 500mg of vickodin. The doctors took blood and should have found that he had liver problems. They sent him on his way 3-4 days later he died.
My understanding, people that has severe liver problems shouldn't be givin anything that has high doses of tylonol in it cause it will induce liver failure. My question to the people out there is is this a part of medical malpractice??
Did they misdiagnose him and give him a pain killer that eventually led to his death?
