jhjd Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 So I fell down the stairs Tuesday night, as is inevitable, and broke (I think) my tailbone. I'm going to the Dr. today about it- I was trying to tough it out w/some darvocet at night and Aleve during the day, but I just can't take it any more! It feels like fire emanating from my bottom and shooting up through my spine. (you should I have seen DH try not to laugh when I gave him that mental image!)Here's the thing- I'm allergic to codeine, and the small prescription of darvocet I have left over from an injury of DH doesn't really seem to be helping. Anybody have an idea for a gentle but effective pain killer I can ask for? I'm sort of at a loss. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spinalremains Posted December 15, 2006 Report Share Posted December 15, 2006 wow, thats a tough one. Thats one of those injuries that just hurts. You are going to have to talk it over with the man to decide. You are going to need something strong for bedtime and a muscle relaxer probably wouldnt hurt either. good luck and let us know.
