Best Pain Relief Guys!!

[Smowball]

I had hospital yesterday over my broken fingers which won’t heal. So, instead of surgery they have decided to coax them back into the shape they’re meant to be with personalised moulded splints. Well the pain didn’t kick in till I got home tbh. Im climbing the walls and in tears. The phrase ‘Pulsating pain ‘ couldn’t be more truer. I’ve got soluble co-codamol here and it isn’t even touching it. Can I buy anything stronger.??

ibuprofen and paracetamol combined, which is what i was prescribed, though i haven't found it works for me, but might for you.

Speak to a pharmacist.

[emmie]

they are the first port of call this morning, day..

[Smowball]

Sounds really silly for such a fairly small injury but I’ve never known pain like it

[emmie]

i had a tooth infection which made the left side of my face blow out, so i do know how you feel, unimaginable pain can drive you to madness.

Naomi advice is right, seek help from Boots or whatever chemist is open near you.

Nothing silly about it smow. See your pharmacist.

[emmie]

if they can't help try ringing 111 for advice..

[Smowball]

Ok I will do. Thankyou guys, as usual. I’m just in tears, Thankyou x

[waterboatman]

If you were here, or I were there I could do something about it, but, sadly, that's not the case.

I have just bought ibuprofen in Wilko £1.75 a packet. I have a bulging disc and was in terrible pain.These are working for me x

I understand it's comforting to get answers on here but really all we can suggest our personal favourites from ibuprofen, aspirin, paracetamol or codeine. Didn't the hospital discuss this with you before you left, surely they knew it was going to hurt?
Meanwhile the suggestions above of speaking to a pharmacist are your best bet. Everyone means well but a packet of supermarket tablets aren't going to help with the pain you describe.

Thats ok smowfall. My doc stopped prescribing ibuprofen and naproxen. They only give co codomol or similar.




which do not touch the pain. Try the ones I mentioned and give us a update xxx

Superdrug Express Ibuprofen Lysine 342mg tablets worked for my gout pain before I got perscription tablets.

[Smowball]

Seriously, I know l souand like a drama queen, but I have never know pain like this, I actually feel sick x

[tamaris]

You are not a drama queen. I am in terrible pain ATM too x

How are you using the keyboard if your fingers are broken? Can't be easy. That's a simple question.
