wasted Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 (edited) Fentanyl or oxycodone? I have liagent tears and minicus is no existent. My health insurance only really covers getting hit by a car and a yearly bodycheck. I’ve tried ibuprofen but my knee is swollen and it’s getting difficult to walk.

soon Posted November 25, 2018 Share Posted November 25, 2018 For the swelling mix some lavender essential oil and peppermint essential oil in some olive oil. Enough olive oil so you have enough for your needs and enough of the essential oils in it to be fragrant. Mix well. Apply to knee 3-5 times a day, always mixing or shaking the blend before use.

The codeine does kill the pain but the oil/lavender mix might help the swelling. The swelling isn’t that bad unless you look at it. It’s just like a gold ball on your knee. But taking codeine costs money. Whereas oxycodone is pretty cheap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully the lavender and peppermint works for you to reduce swelling. The swelling might be causing some of the pain, too. Keep leg elevated as much as possible, too. When pain gets too bad, give your nipple a good tweak for distraction. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’m not your rolling wheels, I am the highway. It’s actually all because of playing 5-a-side with a Sunderland fan. He didn’t appreciate the Maldini of Leceistershire. The guile, the quick feet were just booted in the air. Now I need opiates to kill the pain. Edited November 25, 2018 by wasted 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, better yet, if you do go buy some essential oils see if they also sell willow bark. Willow bark is great for pain. It should come finely chopped or shredded (preferably from young shoots). Boil up some and add to bath water. It's amazing pain relief! Drink some as tea as well. At some point it gets to unhealthy quantity to drink, but its shitty flavour will stop you well short of that.

I mean herbal stuff might work if I get it together but how likely is that. I need a pill or somekind of simple cream. 4 Ibuprofen does it but it way over the limit. I’m going to the clinic tomorrow anyway they should know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually similar to opiate where you are relieved of pains you didnt even know you had. Stop over doing the Ibuprofen, you need your gut health so you can absorb nutrients to heal! But glad you see a Dr. Good thing about the topical herbal treatments is that they can be done in addition to what ever medicine that is ingested.

Ok, I had a cream like that at some point. If I see it I’ll try it. Flights seem to make the knee swell up. I guess when I quit ibuprofen ill see what is actually going on. Until then 8 cans of stout and Double cheeseburger. Going for full body exam on Thursday. So need to be in peak physical shape and somewhat sober by then.

wasted Posted November 29, 2018 Author Share Posted November 29, 2018 Completed full body check and cavity search. “I found nothing” That’s good I think. Got 8 cans of Tsingtao White to celebrate my new found sobriety. One day at a time. Then back to the Seagram’s gin for a week. Health and wealth.

AxlisOld Posted December 1, 2018 Share Posted December 1, 2018 Protip, mashijg ibuprofen and a little water inter a paste can make a topical pain reliever/anti inflammatory. Codeine is crap unless mixed with some whiskey. I vote Oxycodone. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marlingrl03 Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 Oxy was great post back surgery but was kind of a bitch to wean off of. Do it slowly or you feel sick af! At least I did.... I love Tramadol though for minor pain. I can work just fine on a low dose of that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dan H. Posted December 3, 2018 Share Posted December 3, 2018 (edited) Whatever your doctor recommends. Oxy or even Vicodin are efficient as painkillers, but all opioids are dangerous and last resort options IMO. Discuss it with a medical professional. Oh and don't use essential oils or "natural" remedies unless it is recommended by a medical professional. Essential oils tend to vary from "useless placebo" to mildly toxic when applied topically or ingested.

OmarBradley Posted December 4, 2018 Share Posted December 4, 2018 I've had a few due to surgery, favorite has been hydrocodone. I believe it's about the same as oxy. I had no issue kicking the the stuff, but I only went through one bottle and dosed once or twice a day. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
