Question About Darvocet-n 100 Tab And Aspirin Please Help??

By admin Posted in: alternative medicine

I have Horrible Headaches and Severe Back Pain from an injury at work and I am concerned about taking pain medicine. I had a blood test about a year ago and it came back normal for my kidney’s and liver. I take Headache Relief from walmart it has Aspirin, acetaminophen, and caffeine. And I take the Darvocet for the back pain and sometimes for the headaches. Also my urine changes from dark yellow to clear. Whats going on??? Also if you know of any natural alternative for pain would be helpful??? I have tried heat, cold, bio-freeze, icy hot, and massager’s, they help sometimes but very minimal. Thank you for your help :)

    your urine changes color depending on how much you are drinking. clear is good, not dehydrated. If it stays dark no matter how much you drink, that is one symptom of liver disease.
    The aspirin acetaminophen and caffeine is not a very good idea in my opinion.
    Take either or, not both. All the caffeine does is make it work faster and you can become addicted to caffeine and then get headaches from withdrawl of that.
    Have you considered massage therapy or chiropractic exam for the injury at work?
    That can sometimes do more good than more medications.
    Physical therapy might also be worth looking into.
    While “natural” pain medications may be out there, fixing the cause of the pain might be worth looking into first.
    You may also be suffering from rebound headaches, which are from taking too much pain medication or taking too low of a dose too often.
    IF your last doctors appointment was a while ago, it might be worth it to have another one and share your concerns with him.

    don’t use ice on this type of problem. The muscles are pinched or tight already and icing is going to add to the pain once the feeling returns after the icing. Heat is better but the best is releasing the muscles and getting rid of the pain. Yes, it can be done. The pain is coming from pinched muscles. To get rid of the pain you have to free those muscles up and here’s how to release them to set them free:
    Back:
    (do from a sitting position)
    Place your left hand on your left leg next to your body. Place your right hand over your left shoulder, fingers over the back and the palm in the front and firmly press on them and hold. After 30 seconds slowly lower your body forward and to the outside of your left leg, keeping your left arm fairly straight as you do. When you reach your lap remain there for another 10 seconds, release the pressure but rest there for another 30 seconds. Then reverse your hand positions and do your right side.
    Because the neck is an extension of the back those muscles also were involved and they need to be released as well. As a bonus for this one the headache will go away when you do this one, but if some pain is left over just repeat it again. Here’s how to release the muscles in your neck:
    Neck
    Put your hands alongside your head so your thumbs are on the front of the muscle under your ear and your fingers are on the back of the muscle behind your head. Squeeze your thumb and fingers together and hold. Relax your body. When your fingers and thumb touch, about two minutes, slowly lower your head as far as you can, release the pressure but hold your neck lowered for another 30 seconds.
    For best results for both, relax your body first by taking a deep breath and exhaling then remain this relaxed.
