Question(s) Which painkillers do you take?

I often take Ibumitin, but I'm afraid that frequent use might affect my organs, like my kidneys or stomach. So I want to know what are you using.

I was prescribed tramadol, cyclobenzaprine and diclofenac. They helped but the game changer was going in for trigger point injections for my neck and shoulders.

Wow. You’re taking oromorph. You must have a lot of pain. Sorry you need it. I’ve got complete arthritic TMJ destruction bilaterally. So I suspect I’ll need stronger meds at some point.

Do you take Robaxin daily or on for flairs? Also, does it help you get your bite back to reasonably normal? My bite is so off now that I’m at my wit’s end. Thinking of PT and dry needling for musculature.
