As I am sure people are getting sick of me mentioning (especially those who have REAL pain issues) my side has been hurting on and off for a little over a year, about 60% of the time I am pain free, about 30% of the time I am in moderate pain, enough to slow me down but not stop me, and the remaining 10% of the time my side yoyos between the moderate pain levels to curl up and whimper levels of pain.
I am moving this week and I need to pack everything up, but my side has chosen this week to yoyo, its day 2 and I haven't packed a single cup. The doctor has only JUST prescribed some rather weak painkillers (not even double the strength over the counter stuff), so I am still relying on my own cocktail of over the counter painkillers, which I have updated to include the prescription stuff. My question is how to get any more effectiveness out of this cocktail.
At the moment I am using:
2x 15/500mg cocodamol tablets
2x 200mg Ibuprofen tablets
2x 50mg Pro Plus caffeine tablets.
The caffeine is to boost the effect of the rest (caffeine does that to painkillers, which is why it is sometimes added to paracetamol to increase its potency)
With the change from the 8/500mg over the counter cocodamol to the 15/500mg weak-ass prescription stuff it is just BARELY starting to be effective at eliminating the mid-level pain (rather than, at best, dulling it), but if I move around the pain starts exceeding the painkillers again. Any tweaks or additions you can think of to increase the strength of this would be appreciated.
