My neighbor the retired pharmacist had knee surgery about seven years ago.
He felt his opioids were ineffective at relieving his pain.
Oh come on... who really NEEDS a liver?
There has to be a way to sue over this. In any case it makes more sense why so many people are overdosing on Fentanyl. When people are in major pain then they they are willing to take huge risks. I bet that many of those deaths are not recreational. Even DR Baker was into pain relief.
Why would anyone take Tylenol for any reason?
I would sooner local fet dog.
A woman oral surgeon who removed my wisdom tooth with no pain during surgery recommended combined pain medication for pain.
I think the combination was acetaminophen and ibuprofen.
There was pain afterward, for which I should have headed home to take medication for.
Take a Motrin they said, only a mastectomy, only an heart attack, only an amputation, only a few cracked bones...or go downtown and buy Fentanyl nice and cheap from the open border love children
Hospital started me on fentanyl which didn't work, and then put me on oxycodone which definitely relieved the pain but made me have big time hallucinations.
Rehab place sent me home with an oxycodone prescription but I weened myself off of it thankfully. I now see how opiates can become addictive.
i’ve had two laparotomy’s, and sent home both times wi Tylenol...
Deaths from drug overdoses are well over 100,000 per year.
If you are on blood thinners then Tylenol is your only over the counter pain reliever. I recently dealt with severe back pain and even the max dose of Tylenol was not sufficient. Especially when the max dose is 2 500mg tablets every 6 hrs, however you can only take 6 tablets per day. If you do the math you have no pain medication for 6 hrs a day.
I fractured the tibia in my right knee about a year ago. My knee went out on me while I was putting my old iMac in the back seat of the car. Thankfully I'd made it down three flights of stairs, and got it into the car before it gave out. I got in the car, and despite the pain I drove to the computer shop, then remembered I had an old cane in my trunk. I managed to get up the stairs to the shop, and asked them if they could bring the computer in for me. By the time I got home, my knee had swelled up like a balloon...just not a Chinese balloon. It was worse pain than any surgery I'd had. I didn't know it was fractured until about 3 weeks later when I was finally able to see an orthopedic specialist. I took nothing then either, not even Tylenol. I have to take so many other medications for my health problems, that I hate taking any additional pills.
Opiates are safer (if you’re not allergic) than Tylenol. And it’s now found tons dangerous to the brains of the unborn, when for 30 years pregnant women were told it was the only safe pain reliever to take in pregnancy
There is no reason to blindly trust doctors.
Acetaminophen doesn’t do squat for me. For bad pain ibuprofen at 800mg works for the most part but I hate taking that much.
Vicodin doesn’t do anything for pain either
They destroy your liver so you won’t get hooked on painkillers.🙄
The VA won’t give anything, especially if you are over 65.
Thank you all, there were some sage words written here tonight.
Tylenol alone worked fine for me after every major surgery... except one. I screamed in pain for the opioid after that one.
Ask for Norco and gabapentin. Better than Tylenol alone. Nanny state interference in the medical treatment of pain has become downright criminal. We can be sure these SOBs have no intention of having them own pain managed in their last days with Tylenol alone.
After emergency abdominal surgery I was given a grand total of six ‘loritab’ pills when I was discharged. The doctors would not renew the prescription. Six tablets is two days. One does not recover from the pain of emergency invasive abdominal surgery in two days. They are indeed paralyzed by the media driven scare of “opioid crisis.”
