Which is better for neck pain- Robaxin or Percocet? My mom had surgery. We are not drug addicts. haha She has bot Percocet and Robaxin and just wanted to know which one is better.

gorkbarque replied: "With all drugs it is the side effects, like heart attack, stroke, and death that matter more. Read the deadly side effects on bot Percocet and bot Robaxin and see which one is the least bad, and go from there. There is no such thing as which is better, just which is least likely to mess you up worse or even kill you."

Richard C replied: "The best pain control is ice. Use it fifteen to twenty minutes per hour. The one thing with the neck is to keep the ice off the front of the neck."

rxtech03 replied: "The Percocet is for the pain and the Robaxin is a muscle relaxer. Both will make her sleepy. I would make sure she has food in her stomach with both. They just announced a recall at the pharmacy level on the Percocet, some of the tablets had more drug than it was labeled for. If she is in alot of pain, since it is not a Class 1 recall, I would give it to her. Check with your pharmacy if you have questions. I take both a pain pill and muscle relaxer 1/2 hour apart. Rx Tech"

Is Robaxin like Percocet? I have serious back problems from a recent vehicle accident I was in. I ran out of percocet's and I have nothing but Robaxin..is it kinda the same? What's the difference? Is there a high effect? I just need something to relax me and make my back not hurt and put me to sleep also. Percocet's do all that but I don't know if Robaxin does...?

Soju replied: "Percocet is a narcotic that is known for its ability to minimize pain and its calming effect on the body. Robaxin is a muscle relaxer that it usually given to arthritis patients. It does provide relief for painful muscles; but it may not be as effective (pain relief wise) as Percocet. However, it will relax you and provide some form of relief. Hope this helps.

wiseolebat replied: "Rabaxin is a muscle relaxer that works on skeletal muscles. Percocet works on the central nervous system, which more or less interrupts pain signals. The Robaxin should help, also try moist heat (damp towel between heating pad and injury site). Be careful mixing any drugs though without professional advice."

hunter_jumper_21 replied: "I take Robaxin (Methocarbamol) and Vicodin (have been given Percocet at times) as well as Ibuprofen 600's for DDD and arthritis in my back. The Robaxin is a muscle relaxer, as others have stated, and the Percocet a pain reliever. I get a lot of help from the Robaxin but not in the same way as taking a vicodin, not better or worse....just different. I do feel relaxed when I take it, just no weird high feeling like from the vicodin. If you dont have Percocet and cant get a refill from your doc I would advise taking one or two of your Robaxin and about 600mg's of Ibuprofen. Ice/Hot pack your back...5 min ice, 5 min hot for 30min or so several times a day. Hope you feel better!"

Why do percocet's make me sick? I take percocet 10 for my back pain due to scoliosis and other problems. It seems that whenever i take them more than two or three days in a row they make me feel like crap. I get a bad stomach ache, i get really hot and sweaty, and i get a pounding headache. When i had my c-section i was taking percocets and i was fine with them (and i was taking more pills in a day) I also take robaxin (muscle relaxer) and mobic (anti-inflammatory). Why are they making me sick? is it the other meds? someone please help. 10 points for best answer

CocoaPuffDaddy replied: "Percocet is a very strong painkiller. I'm sure it is upsetting your stomach for that reason."

Harry replied: "if you are a 10 i will help you need a picture"

peace.love25941 replied: "i dont know what percocets are, but i get headaches everyday, so i have to take a lot of prescription meds. sometimes they can make you feel sick if u take them on an empty stomach, or sometimes it takes a while for the side effects to kick in. i would go to the doctor and see if you can get some different meds. maybe you are taking the wrong combination of pills, some pills dont react well w/ each other. but u should go to your doctor to get a professional opinion."

Sar replied: "percocet can cause nausea/vomiting, upset stomach, headache, and constipation. It is just it's normal side effects. Sometimes it can be relieved by taking it with food. If you notice it is not getting better might be time to talk to the doc about possibly switching to another pain med It is important to push fiber and fluids to help prevent the constipation"

Sudden Weakness...Sweating...and Nausea? Right now i'm home from work for the next 3 days due to an injury...(see other posts) anyways as you know if you read my other posts...the other day i fell down a flight of wooden stairs and had to go to the ER...right now i have on 3 diff meds for pain and swelling...percocet, robaxin and naproxen...anyways about a good 20 mins ago i was standing up and almost nearly fell over...i got extremely weak to the point where i could hardly stand...i then started getting Nausea to the point of gagging and nearly throwing up...my entire body then got really hot and sweaty...i basically might be coming down with something on top of my injuries...has anyone ever had this happen to then? It passed as quickly as it came but i still sorta feel weak in the legs and such now....Could this be from my bad fall or the meds that i am on because of it? or am i just coming down with the flu on top of my nasty fall?

doomjockey replied: "the 3 meds your on, percocet being an opiate pain killer, robaxin being a skeletal muscle relaxer and naproxen being an NSAID all lower your blood pressure considerably. If you went from sitting to standing you may have just had a bad case of orthostatic hypotension...basically when you sit down your blood pressure is one thing and when you stand up it drops for a minute before it raises back up to it's normal level and that sudden drop can make you extremely light headed and all the meds your on may have made it more severe than it would ever normally be. if it persists pretty bad then you might wanna get checked to make sure you dont have something else."

bobbie n replied: "i am a nursing student and i looked your meds up in my drug book and both the robaxin and percocet can cause dizziness, light-headedness and also hypotension, which is dizziness and light-headedness when standing, also both can cause nausea,try taking meds with a small snack, if vomiting gets worse, you should probably report to your dr. thanks, hope this helped!"

sjf replied: "Sound like all the drugs you are on...I can't even take one of those meds without feeling that way You getting hot/sweaty and weak is what happens to your body before you vomit or pass out........."

Can I get info from anyone that's used the duragesic patch 50 ? I have bad back problems, in the last year I have used the following meds for pain: all strengths of lortab, vicodin, & percocet. darvocet, demerol (sp?), morphine 30mg, oxycontin 40mg. then for muscle relaxers: valium 10mg, soma, robaxin (sp?), flexril (sp?), and skelaxin (sp?). So far oxycontin 40mg has worked the best, but it's still not anything great & super expensive...it's just better than the other painkillers ive tried. as far as muscle spasms Soma is the keeper, i'm happy eventhough my insurance wont even cover it. i've had issues with my insurance covering anything above percocet so im weary of trying expensive meds that i might be wasting hundreds of $ on. my Dr just recommended i try duragestic patch 50, vicodin for breakthrough pain and Soma. i am not familiar with the patch at all and am looking for info from people who have used it, not just the general info i've found on the 'net. I'd appreciate any help at all. *my awful, cheap insurance does not cover the generic version of this patch, i've already priced the generic patch & it's $178 *along w/the patch (50 strenght) my PM Dr is prescribing vicodin 7.5 for breakthrough pain and soma for muscle spasms. *my insurance does NOT cover the patch (generic or brand), i have to pay. they dont seem to cover anything above percocet. for example oxycontin is only covered for patients with cancer or AIDS. and my PM Dr has written to them, they just wont budge. i have tried lots of other meds, believe me,. i didnt just jump to meds that are expensive & aren't covered by my insurance seeing as i'm unemployed (therefore broke) due to my back pain.

mlgable replied: "We use it a lot in the nursing home I work at for people with chronic pain. Usually we start them on a low to mid dose of 25-50 mcg. The patch is changed every 3rd day and releases a continuous stream of pain medication in to your blood stream to provide pain relief 24/7. When you first put the patch on it takes about 13 hours to start being effective but once it starts working you get continous pain med in your blood stream. The Vicodin aka lortab aka hydrocodone/APAP is what you would use if you have pain that the med is not covering aka breakthrough pain along with the muscle relaxer as needed. I would recommend trying it but get your doc to get it approved by your insurance company so you don't have to pay full price out of pocket. It is available as a generic patch now called fentnyl. Hope this info is helpful."

okie girl replied: "I was on the duragesic patch for three years. It does give you a continuous dose so you won't have the lows and high like with oral medication. Constipation can be a major problem. Myra lax is good for that. The worst thing with the patch is that it doesn't always stay stuck. I had to use alot of medical tape. Also it can cause skin problems from the adhesive. There is only so many places you can put them. But if you can afford it they are definitely worth trying. Also talk to your pm dr about a spinal cord stimulator or an intrathecal pain pump. Good Luck."

gillianprowe replied: "First you do not state what type of 'back problem?' I have psoriasis; skin condition, rheumatoid arthritis, scoliosis sideways curvature of my spine and last year a MRI reveled the Discs in the spine have bulged. At that point my Doc prescribed Durogesic transdermal fentanyl patches. He stated 'Now looking at long term pain relief', while I was hoping for surgery. I was already taking evening primrose oil, anti-inflammatory dual release, valium, so on with the Patch. First three days I was unable to keep anything in my stomach, food, liquid, nothing and had to see a on-call Doc who told me to 'stop' using the patch and gave me a injection. After the injection all the nausea went. I was never one for popping the daily pain medications, perferred to see how long I could last. My CBC, or white cell count was always up in the 20's and as soon as I started the patches it came down to 11%, which I guess proves the amount of pain and stress I was under. I had no problems with the patch, change it every three days, attend Aqua Jogging, go to the Steam and Sauna, my only complaint trying to open the sealed foil pouch the patch comes in and taking the plastic backing off it. I also have problems removing the 'old patch'. I was starting with pains in my hands and feet, what they call neuropathic pain, so they added Lyrica, which nailed it. However it is important that you exercise the back. I did Pilates for Nine Months, learned about posture, exercise and now I am Aqua Jogging, kinda Pilates in water. The patch enables me to maintain a quality of life that I enjoy, being active!"

Nurse Annie replied: "The Duragesic patch releases fentanyl (the actual pain reliever) into your system. You should be glad that the doc is giving your med for breakthrough pain, as it can take up to 17 hours for the Duragesic to 'kick in' or reach it's level in your system. You may expect the same side effects that you had with other narcotics, especially constipation; given that you'll be taking the double-whammy of Vicodin ES and Duragesic. But, that's a VERY manageable problem. Get yourself on a bowel regimen. Glad to hear that Soma works. Oftentimes, insurance companies will cover a med (in this case Soma) if the doc (pain med doc) writes a letter of medical necessity. They really don't want you to be in pain; they just want to know that you've tried less expensive meds and they've not worked. They have a 'bottom line' but they do have breathing room. Back to the patch; never cut it in half; let's say, if the physician says you need to increase the dose to 75. You could get an immediate release of that much fentanyl into your system and it someone else is helping you change the patch, don't let them get any of the 'sticky' stuff on their fingers. Surprised that insurance will cover Duragesic but not Soma. Last I knew, Duragesic was incredibly expensive! But, we needed to use what worked. Best of luck in managing your pain; remember these meds are just masking the pain. Hope you're working to find the CAUSE of the pain."

gagrammy replied: "Chronic acute pain of any kind is debilitatiing, affecting all areas of your life. Like you I've been on all sorts of meds over the past 30 years trying to control it. I have degenerative disc disease along with osteoarthritis, spinal stenoes, etc. in my lower back as well as my neck, along with Fibromyalgia and degenerative knee joints (need surgery in the near future). The patch is very similar to Oxycontin. It works very well for some people and not so hot for others. My doc has told me I may need to take a vacation at times to keep the meds working effectively (trading out one med for another). Oxycontin is also now available in a generic version so ask your pharmasict about that. I am currently taking 40 mgs. oxycondone ER (Oxycontin 40 mg) 3 x's day - with oral transmucosal fental citrate (Actiq Loz 400 MCG) that is dispensed in a quick acting sucker format for break through pain. Since the acute phase has gotten better, I'm ready to quit using the fental suckers and go back to one of the other short term drugs again. As others have mentioned, getting a letter of medical necessity to your insurance co. will often make meds they wouldn't prevously cover available to you. I am well known to the folks at my insurance co. as I call and question everything that they don't cover, persisting to get an answer on how I can get it covered or what other drugs they will cover. I have had the best luck with getting my meds covered now that I'm in a good pain management program. I've also had epidurals, facet blocks, and radial ablation in my lumbar spine. All of those treatments worked for a time to help decrease the acute phase of the pain. I will continue to use them as needed to help keep the acute pain more tolerable. The use of exercise and physical therapy have caused major improvement in my quality of life. When the insurance company sees that you are actively pursuing treatments other than just pain pills, that also will improve your chances of getting those pills covered. Pain treatment is expensive, but necessary if you are to ever be able to return to work or have a quality of life that makes life worth living. This isn't an easy path. Keep trying different treatments and don't just go for the pills. My former husband refused to follow the doctors recommendations for other treatments and is now in serious trouble with pain control. He's 50 yrs. old, hasn't worked or done anything orther than watch tv for 5 years. I was no longer able to effectively treat my pain and the depression that it can cause with him taking all of his medication too soon and then searching for my pills. I had to leave and let him become responsible for his actions and allow myself the opportunity to obtain that better quality of life I had worked hard to achieve. After 6 weeks I can already tell a difference! Keep the faith and follow whatever program they offer you. If it doesn't work, let them know so they can try something different. It's a different plan and program for each person. Best of Luck!"

I fell down a flight of wooden stairs...(is it just that bad or am i getting the flu on top of it?)? so 2 days ago i took a nice fall down a flight of wooden stairs about 15 - 20 stairs...i had slipped on my bottem of my pj pants and slide all the way to the bottem on my butt and entire back...as the day went on i started experiencing extreme pain and soreness...i also was having trob breathing and had tightness in my chest...i had been coughing sorta before but now it seemed that i tasted blood and couldn't stop coughing...so i decided to go to the ER to get checked out and had a bunch of x-rays done...nothing broken just damage to my chest wall and rib and body contustions...they gave me percocet, naproxen and robaxin...still the pain is quite horrible and it seems that i'm coughing so bad to the point where i feel like i'm coughing up a organ each time i do so lol...now my nose is running down my face and my ears are killing me i think i picked up something at the hospital...am i seriously in this much pain from the fall or am i coming down with the flu on top of it???

li_i_ren replied: "that's a long fall!!! percocet is used to relieve pain... naproxen is a muscle relaxant..they probably gave you this for the soreness from the fall and for the muscle pain brought upon by coughing. robaxin is also used for muscle pain. it cause a sedative effect thus relaxing you but is not recommended if you drive or have work that requires alertness. the meds they gave you was for the fall... they didn't give you any for the cough. you probably have the flu...it is that time of year again... and it happened after your fall probably because you are in a weaken state. you didn't say if you have a phelgm or not...but green mucus or yellow mucus is bacterial in origin while white frothy thick mucus is viral in origin and is self-limiting to 7 days. the bacterial can last longer and requires treatment. i would advise you go to the doctor for your cough... the doctor at the ER check you up for the fall and prescribed meds based on the current, chief complaint you had at that time... but now you have a different problem...requiring a different solution. try also rest and lots of water or juice...and do tell your doctor about the meds you are currently taking as to avoid drug interactions!! take care!!"

What Could Possibly Be Wrong With Me? Your Help Is Greatly Appreciated!? Ok, to try to make a long story short, I've been going through some severe back pain (thorasic and lumbar region) in the last 4 months (acute and constant) and have been for X-Ray (unremarkable) and MRI (normal degeneration for a 25 year old female) and am currently waiting for a CT scan with contrast as the radiologist detected 2 masses of unknown pathology (one in the upper right retroperitaneum and the other left, adjacent to L1-L4.Currently working with a Pain Management/Spine Specialist @ U of Penn Hosp who is pretty sure I have fibromyalgia (which I think is a BS catch-all). On 10mg Percocet as Tremadol, Robaxin and Hydrocodone 500/5 and 750/7.5 didn't work. Also waiting on inflammatory blood work back and retest liver enzymes- a month ago AST was 45, ALT was 123, all other enzymes were within the normal range. Does anyone have any suggestions, or similar cases that could potentially help me figure out what maybe wrong with me that hasn't been thought of yet by the specialists? Also, I would like to mention that before all of this started, I was walking over 4 miles daily (its my only source of transportation- to and from work, shopping, dog), practiced yoga 4 times a week, and see a chiropractor and licensed massage therapist every other week for general maintenance, so Im not just some slob with low energy and a bad diet...I only eat organic fruits/vegetables and dairy products, free range poultry and no beef (on the rare occasion, I'll have lamb), fresh, wild caught fish, and nothing with enriched or bleached flour...I do everything I can to keep a very healthy, organic diet...so I highly doubt that that has anything to do with it. I do not drink, I do smoke (approx. ¾ pack daily) and on a very, very rare occasion take narcotics (recreationally would be an overstatement). I was originally prescribed the Tremedol, Robaxin and Hydrocodone/APAP 5mg/500mg, but I was getting terrible headaches (I do take Adderal XR 10mg once daily and Effexor 150mg once daily and the SSRI has been noted to have drug interaction with the Tremadol producing seizures- my GP still approved it...hooray), and wasn't feeling any sort of relief at which point the GP took me off of all three and prescribed me the Hydrocodone/APAP 7.5/750mg, but again, I felt no relief (there was also a trip to the ER at this time because of the pain, but they couldn't help me either, gave me a shot to make me comfortable for the night and sent me packing) and at that time, the GP prescribed me the Oxycodone/APAP 10mg/325mg which doesn't alleviate the pain fully... ...but does take the edge off so that at the very least I can move about without screaming and/or crying and sit upright at my desk and work and just other everyday things I've been having a lot of trouble with (cooking, cleaning laundry, walking my dog, etc., etc.) since this whole situation started about four months ago....and I know that the Oxycodone has Tylenol in it, so I do not take any other OTC pain medications in addition. I do not have breats large enough to cause back pain (a nice and healthy 34 D on an athletic 5'4" frame- sounds like a personal ad now...its not!)...the MRI I got the results from show no herniation of disks, although spina bifida oculata on S1 and my L5 was noted as having par defect. The disk between T7/T8 has been noted as dry...because it was asked, I felt it was important to clarify.

charliesworld05 replied: "I would say that it could be either an aggrivated or ruptured disk in your lower back, or a slight case of arthritis. And if you don't mind, before I say this, I do not mean any harm whatsoever, but it could be breast size. If you have large breasts, that could add some of the stress on your back. ( Personally, I love larger breasts) but my girlfriend has them, and she often complains about the same thing. And her doctor says that she had a fairly larger bust size. So that also could be it."

Why Do the Doctors I See Refuse to Give Me Pain Medication Anymore? I have been suffering with a back injury I received in 2001 and it is constantly being flared up by little things, like getting out of bed in the morning. Anyway, it's been flaring up HORRIBLE lately and I had to drag myself to the ER here for help. My blood pressure was through the roof due to the pain I was in and I was taken right back to see the doctor. It was a PA and she gave me Lortab and Flexeril to take and said it should help. It did not. I had to go back to the ER a couple days later and see them again. This time they did x-rays and discovered it was not bone related but muscular. The doctor changed my medication to Percocet 7.5 and Robaxin 750. It worked like a charm. I was pain free for the next 3 weeks that I was taking that. Unfortunately, I ran out and the pain came right back. Ever since then the doctors at the hospital REFUSE to give me anything. I've been offered Tramadol, AnaProx and Motrin 800. These meds are all jokes to my pain. What can I do? I am suffering! Just to let you know, I do not and cannot afford a regular doctor. I can not afford to go to a pain management clinic as they charge $500.00 just for the initial visit! I am a very broke person in a great deal of pain and I need help from a kind and caring doctor.

hecla 1 replied: "You need to see a regular Dr...going to the ER is not considered treatment for an ongoing problem. The ER is not set up that way....a pain management clinic/Dr may be more along the lines of what you need....ER will not contiune to give out pain meds, also by doing that, you get no consistency of care or treatment."

Ajayu replied: "The doctors refuse to give you stronger pain medication because they are afraid you will get addicted to it."

FlyfreeIzzieUCSD replied: "Im sure the ER would have told you this already but they will not treat anyone for chronic pain. They cannot take on that sort of responsibility an dthat is why they wont give you more mrds. DOnt go to other ER's or else they will flag your record as a drug seeker even though you have a real problem. I dont know what you're going to do but you need to figure out how to get a regular doctor to treat you for pain. Get insurance or something because this is basicaly your only choice. The DEA is very veyr strict on what doctors do with pain medication and so you must have consistent care. I have to go to a pain clinic and my GP gives me my meds but the pain clinic gave him the order and a psychologist and psychiatrist had to sign off on it for me to be on morphine and vicoden for break through. I also take robaxin and some otehr meds like neurotin, and topomax. But I am also contracted with the pain clinic and have a streict shcecule. Its all complicated... in fact you have to carry special prescriptions in every single month for narcotic pain meds in the first place.. you cant even get more than a 30 day supply by law so you really have to find a way to get a doctor or get insurance or find a doctor willing to work out payument plans with you or something...."

gillianprowe replied: "Muscle pain in the back needs anti-inflammatory medication and muscle relaxants, not pain killers. Therefore see a Doctor. Problem with pain killers they kill the pain. So once pain free off you going do all kinds of twisting, bending, lifting, thereby doing more damage. Once the pain killers wear off OUCH! Best of Luck"

Eileen replied: "HI, OMG! I've already been through exactaly what you're prescribing. Unfortunately you're going to have to keep looking until you find someone who actually "believes" the pain you're experiencing. It's an awful vicious circle/. it took me nearly 5 years of chronic lower back and leg pain to finally get a doc to treat me and the ER's to once agian "treat" me with dilauded shots IV...it's not to say that I still once in a while don't run into a doctor that doesn't want to treat me at the ER but over the years they've seen I'm not abusing the drugs or running there when I didn't have to. I was in a wicked faze a while back that left me no choice but to go to the ER. You need to find a physician who specializes in chronic pain...and it's going to be a crap shoot. It's awful dealing with the pain alone let alone having to go and literally "plead your case" each and every time you visit a doctor or ER. Firstly from now on get every copy of what they did to you and diagnosis from here on out and make a folder with your treatments you've tried seeking. This way you have it to show any doctor you might visit...and also the ER. Call your x-ray departments and if I were you I'd ask them to do an MRI and a CT. scan just to have and see if you get more results. I have fibromyalgia and nerve damage. I wouldnt be surprised if you have nerve root damage as well. Tghis type of pain is a 10+ and will really make you want to go crazy. Sooner then later you will probably suffer a depression not only from your chronic pain but from the endless effort you cry from the roof tops to physicians for help...and they (some) prefer to lump you into the "drug addict" catagory. Simply not fair and frankly inhumaine. I wish you all the love and luck in the world..I will keep you in my prayers. I now take morphine sulphate 30 mgs(ms contin) 3 times a day and I take hydrocodone for break thriugh pain. Possibly you could mention these meds to one of the doctors you see. Don't give up....keep trying...you will find someone to help you. If you have to cry in the office ...cry. The mental and physical pain you are made to endure will break you down. Allow the doctor to see that and try explaining to the best of your ability the pain you feel each and every day. Look your doctor in the eye and tell the truth. I do believe it wont be long until you do find a doctor whose willing to ease your pain. Eileen..a chronic pain sufferer."
