Is it ok to take muscle relaxers and vicodin at the same time? I suppose they wouldn't have prescribed them both to me if not...but I'm just a little nervous. Anyone ever combined these before?

If you had an accident how long did you put off the surgery? If you were diagnosed with arthritis, etc., how long did you wait before you decided it was time to go under the knife? Was the pain unbearable and ,if so, how did you cope? Which medicines worked best for you? Did you do any kind of at home treatments that helped? Thanks in advance!

If anyone else has had nerve pain and has done something or tried something that has given them any relief, I would really appreciate hearing from them. I have had this pain for 2 years now and no one can seem to help me - tried medications, accupuncture, hypnosis, tens, relaxation etc. and nothing helps. I am considering a spinal cord stimulator but the risks scare me. Does anyone know anything about the spinal cord stimulator?? Thanks for reading my message - I hope someone out there can help.

I have a family memeber who is constantly making recomendations for employment opportunities although I am on disability and take medication daily for chronic pain. I find it to be so annoying, although lately I simply say 'Oh that sounds good. I'll look into it'... with no intentions of doing that what so ever. Still, I'm annoyed. Has anything like this happened with you?

What can I do to keep me from being so sleepy during the day? I drink caffeine in moderation. Like maybe one or two cans of diet coke per day and that doesn't wake me up. Is there some type of over the counter pill I can take? Also, my eyes are really blurry all the time, comparable to how it looks when you first wake up. Could these two things be associated?

My hubby experiences this pain and says it comes and goes in spasms - when the pain is present walking hurts/sitting hurts - the pain lasts for approx 10 mins then just wears off. Have spoken with GP regarding this but they have just advised a ultrasound is needed and he is waiting for an appointment from the hospital and havent said what he thinks it is.

Health insurance companies refuse to insure patients with preexisting conditions, health care professionals are rude, fees are through the roof, and the few health care providers who treat w/o insurance, do so in a mediocre fashion. I'm almost ashamed to be pursuing a career in medicine.
