I have spent years with back problems and I've improved dramatically with the right chiropractor and reflexology. I had a MD who pumped me full of cortisone and pain killers and I felt like a million bucks for a while, only to find out later after the drugs wore off that I had done a lot more damage to myself from training while injured. How long ago was your shot, bro?
800mgs 3 x ed IBuprofen... That is the precription dose bro
Bro, the drug you are talking about is toradal. It is in the family of drugs none as N.S.A.I.D 's This stands for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs. This is the same class as Naproxen, Motrin(Ibuprofen), Indomethacin, Celebrex, and the recently pulled Vioxx. When taken parentaly ie;IM inj or IV it has almost the same pain relieving ability as 10mg Morphine. This drug in its oral form is very expensive and is about 1/3 as effective. This drug is only supposed to be used for 5 days or less due to liver toxcicity. Ask yor Dr. about other N.S.A.I.D's that less expensive and less toxic. This drug is not habit-forming so you are safe in that area. Hope the information is useful. Peace
toradol is an anti-inflammatory, now it is not like taking 100mg of demorol IV (or 10mg of morphine). I know. But, mix the two and even a kidney stone is a strool through the park.
The best med for a bad back? REST!!
