Painkiller advice?

[jtniehof]

Anybody know what you're supposed to take as a painkiller for a fracture? Apparently anti-inflammatories are out (as they limit bloodflow), so no ibuprofen. Similarly, percogesic (which ROCKS), is an antihistamine, therefore vasoconstrictor, so not recommended. I guess I could always stick with gin, but I suspect that's not indicated either....

Try Aleve. It has Naproxen.

Naproxen is a NSAID (anti-inflammatory), so not recommended. Acetaminophen/tylenol/paracetamol is pretty much the only over the counter drug I'm aware of you can take for pain that's not. Unfortunately it's not very strong so may only take a slight edge off the pain, if that.

Jon - if that's not doing it, go to the doc and ask for something stronger.
