Not since I quit my job - prior to that time I was given Ibuprofen only.
2. What "excuse" did your doctor give you for not prescribing narcotics/opioids? (fear of addiction, physical or psychological side effects, etc)
I was told "Not necessary" and addictive 3. What medication are you currently taking for pain? (name, milligrams per dose and how many times a day). Is it effective?
I am on 30 mg of Codeine four times a day. It is not diminishing the pain, and is making me nauseous and light-headed.
5. Is your ARD related pain preventing you from beiing a productive person? (able to work, take care of family, etc)
Yes - I find it difficult to keep up with the housework, and had to quit my job because it increased my pain levels beyond tolerance.
Hope this helps Ginny
