spasms about drop me to the floor.There are sharp, shooting pains in the muscles. My muscles feel as if they could
split open and spine feels like it can snap. I take 250 mg of parafon
phorte ever 4 hrd around the clock and a 60 mg morphine in am.I have oxy 5 mg ir. I use hheat, stretching and even massage but am still suffering in pain. I want to walk w/o hurting so bad. I need better pain managment-now! Hubby says I complain too much. I have this pain for over 10 yrs. When is there relief? I am taking a small dose of ativan every day to help me relax. Everyday is a struggle to just shower and get brkfst. My quality of life sucks now.
Parafon Forte is a very old drug, my drug handbook says it should only be taken 3-4 times a day. That is very different from every four hours around the clock, which comes to six times a day. It can also increase the central nervous system effects of other drugs that cause CNS depression (opiates and ativan).
Some research suggests that benzos and opiates not be used together as the risk is to great. Maybe your doctor is aware of this and is simply afraid to increase either one.
Have you talked to your doctor about needing increased pain control? How long have you been seeing your doctor? Have you ever given him a reason not to trust you?
I also have FMS, DDD of the cervical spine, etc. Pain control is difficult and it is not always possible to make the pain go away.
Good luck.
Take care, Annette
