Non-Prescription Pain Relief

Posted by suzanne2 @suzanne2, Aug 16, 2020

There is always a lot of discussion about pain relief using prescription medication but I would like to know if there is anything anyone has found over the counter that really works on pain. I guess I am talking more about muscle pain, or as I have fibromyalgia pain. I just went through a difficult weekend and I have no prescription medication to turn to. If anyone has something they have found that is nonprescription and has helped them I would appreciate their sharing.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Chronic Pain group.

Hi @suzanne2 I used Voltaren Gel for a short time which is the OTC topical cream for diclofenac. It worked pretty well for extremities after I stopped Cymbalta. I, like Ginger and Colleen, would love to know what has or hasn't worked for you so far.

Did Cymbalta work for you. Why did u stop.
Love to hear from you as my doctor wants me to try it.
Thank you.

@annek1965 @Chris Trout I did recheck my messages to people, and yes, I did send @annek1965 a private message. Annek, I am telling you about an herbal product that is not approved by the FDA, and moderators here would prefer I only send private messages about it. I hope you have received my message, as the herbal product is the only thing that helps me with severe nerve pain. I am not sure how to help to have you see my message. I don't know what to do!!!!! Lori Renee

As well as taking Tramadol and having pt, I'm seeing a chiropractor and taking Hemp gummy bears, which seem to take the edge off the pain.

Thank you for responding to me. I take Tramadol, no physical therapy. I don't know if I am allowed to ask the brand of Hemp gummy bears, I just don't trust anyone without a recommendation. Not sure if you saw my previous posts. I have a Veriflex implant and it either moved or broke. Went for a cat scan on
Thursday, waiting to hear from my doctor.
Thank you again for your note.
