She just prescribed some with acetaminophen in it which I saw just destroyed some patient's liver. I told them that I do not want that medicine and I that want an alternative.
Well if you want my nurse's opinion, acetaminophen won't destroy your liver if, when in good health, you take max 4 grams a day and with a kidney condition it's 2 grams per 24 hours...I've had a patient with kidney disease who took 2 grams a day and it helped her a lot...
My doctor's prescription has 750mg Acetaminophen in it and wants me to take it 3 times a day.
I just witnessed its cumulative effects on my co-patients, they all vomited blood, a sign of liver failure.Thank you @jamisa
Opiods will make me constipate. I do not like that as I had experienced a bad constipation and you can just imagine what I just had done for that.
Also, opiods lose their effectiveness in long term use plus its addictive, but maybe a taking it in turns with other types of painkillers will be a good option.
I just used an NSAID and hope it would not hurt me even more @jamisa
Hum yes I understand... I know there are risks with nsaid...your doctor didn't have anything else to propose for your pain...?

Is there a reason you're not prescribed opioids, @cryptopie? I would think they would be much more effective pain relievers compared to OTC options.

Thank you. I might tell that to my doctor @runaway-psyche
