Will suboxone relieve pain ?
I have been taking opiod pain killers for almost 10 years. I never abused it though, I always took one pill every 4-6 hours no more than 4 a day. I started to realize 2 years ago that I was abusing it when moderate pain killers such as loratab vicodin ect. was no longer available and all I could find was morphine. It didn't take long before i knew I had a problem so I quit cold turkey. It was hell but I stopped and survived on aleive and sometimes my doctor would give me tramadol. But then I broke my feet and later had to have surgery and I was prescribed vicodin for a few months. Now I am buying them again illegally and I want my pain to be treated by a doctor but I can't afford the imaging that needs to be done and the visits to pain management. So if I go on suboxone and take alieve will that at least leave me comfortable and productive?
Why husband masturbates instead of having sex with wife?
Ok, so my husband has not had sex with me for a long time. When he does, he doesn't seem to enjoy it. Supposedly he can't have an erection so he uses Cialis or Viagra in order to have sex with me so whenever I show some initiative he rejects me and says he can't do it. He is 45 and currently under a lot of stress. My sexual frustration leads to arguments so he says he doesn't feel "sexy". But he admits he masturbates and I think he does it regularly. I haven't seen him do it so have no idea what turns him on cause he won't tell me anything. Moreover, he never climaxed in my presence and he doesn't like talking about this. When I ask him about having children, his standards answer is "It's not the right time now. I love you and we'll figure something out." What's going on? How can I find out the truth? This situation drives me crazy. Perhaps we should go to a doctor? What kind of doctor? Any ideas?
erection problems (?) at 19?
hey everyone, I want some opinions on the (possible?) issue I am facing.. I became sexually active about 4 months ago. me and my girlfriend are both 19. when we began I was taking finasteride (propecia) prescribed by my dermatologist for preventing the hereditary hairloss that seems to start with all the guys in my family around this age. the first time we had sex I noticed I wasn't as hard as I've been before. and after we had sex once I was just hard enough to have sex a second time. I emailed a doctor online and he said to discontinue use of propecia. so I did. after that I was able to go twice without a problem. my only concern is the refractory period between. I hear the average for guys my age is 15 mins...
I usually take about 45 mins before I can get hard again.
and if I ever go a third time we end up waiting an hour or more... I have emailed a few doctors the same thing... well, maybe a little more in depth. and 2 said it's normal, 1 said to go to a urologist because it's abnormal..... anyone have any advice? anyone have the same problem? thanks everyone!
haha
thanks TX
Voting Question: Tramadol makes me SICK why?
I have been under the care of a pain dr for over 2 years . He prescribes me tramadol 100mgs two times a day. He also prescribes me darvocet twice a day. After 7 months on this regimin i can't handle it anymore. The darvocet doesn't help at all anymore. The tramadol though doesn't help my pain but makes me have this feeling like there is a rubberband around my head and like a brain freeze in the sinus area and makes my hearing fuzzy like i am under water. I stopped taking it after it started doing this to me a month ago. My dr won't change it but has anyone else had this? Does ANYONE KNOW WHAT I am talking about? Why does this happen?
Should a 12 Step Recovery Bible teacher stop teaching if she abused her medication?
I have been teaching for 3 years as a 12 Step Recovery Bible Study Teacher to alcoholics and addicts. I have not used my DOC for almost 3 years. I have chronic pain and took a pain medication prescribed to me by my Dr. (tramadol which was suppose to be safe for addicts). It turned out to be addcitive and did not work as well as it use to. I had to take more. I also wanted to be able to do the things that would make others, my family, employer and students proud of me. I was finally able to work after 7 years of being unemployed. I realized I was addicted and found a dr. who detoxed me and I did it in 2 weeks. I've been clean for 3 weeks but have a very low self esteem. I have always tried to help the relapsers and have always had a heart for the broken. I go to AA mtgs and some people can be rather brutal to relapsers. I especially feel like a hypocrite in my position. How can I talk about what Jesus can do for them if I took those pills? I was unaware of the danger at first. I also told on myself so others would know how dangerous and addictive tramadol is. There are members in our support- group that really want me to keep teaching, and I am grateful. But I feel guilt-ridden and that everyone at AA is judging me when I approach people to come to our Bible Study.
P.S. My group is not regulated by any group, only God, my conscience and group members. Should I feel uncomfortable asking people to join our group? Do I have to explain about my sobriety time? that is one thing at my group I said people did not have to say when they wanted to share. We never discussed time. BTW, I started this group 3 years ago at 3 months sober. I have a Master's in teaching and just have a nack for learning I guess but have never made myself better than anyone else. Yet, I feel I lost credibility so bad. I know I'm saved by Grace and not by works. I'm hoping I can get over my self-doubt. I know God wants us to depend on Him and not ourselves. Depressed. I know telling on myself was the right thing to do, it's just living it now that is hard.
Do doctors who prescribe Viagra to older men inform them that in order to perform sexually...?
that their 'ticker" (hearts) have to be in good shape? I believe that Viagra helps to increase blood flow to the penis in order to have a sustained erection however, a healthy heart have to produce and sustain the increased blood flow to the penis. Those with pacemakers they may have to double battery capacity of their pacemakers to sustain increased demands.
What does one do if he has erection longer than four hours? Does Viagra allow men to do non-stop intercourse while their penises are still erected?
how can we stop balding?
can we stop balding using medicines..lik minoxidil and finasteride..pls anser
when does reactive arthritis cross the line into rhuematiod arthritis?
i was diagnosed with reactive arthritis back in febuary, this diagnosis was basically the doc presuming i have reactive arthritis due to the fact i had a a stomach bug a couple of weeks before. i have had chronic swelling and pain in my joints ever since (just over 6 months now). i am on sulfasalazine (2grams split into 2 daily doses), omeprazol and in the past week i have moved from diclofenac to naproxen (1 gram a day split into 2 doese), although i have seen a slight improvement in the swelling, the pain is still a killer! i have also noticed that my toes on one foot have now curled up (hammer toes) and my big toe now has a bunion. i saw a foot specialist last week and she said there is a possibility i might now have rhuematiod arthritis!! this was a serious bomb shell as i thought the reactive arthritis was going to be temporary and that i would eventually recover. what i want to know is how does reactive arthritis turn into rhuematiod arthritis, and how the hell can i stop it from happening! i am a keen runner and this has basically ended my running now and i am desperate to get back to it! if anyone has any advice of drugs that might help or any advice at all i would love to hear it. so far i have tried, prednisol, ibuprofen, diclofenac, sulfasalazine, naproxen, arcoxyia, cocodamol, tramadol and i think thats it so far, im also pumping my body with cod liver oil daily. all to no avail so far. i am living out in germany at the mo and all the docs i see are german so the language barrier is a serious set back! many thanks.
hi thanks for the reply, i have been tested for gout and it has come back fine, what i find difficult to understand is~ how long reactive arthritis can last before the arthritis is then deemed to be something more long term, eg. rheumatoid, and secondly, what key features then change the diagnosis to rheumatoid and not just symptoms of prolonged reactive arthritis. hope this makes sense, its difficult to find the right words to vent my frustration with this problem!
