what can i take?

[hennaly]

I have put my back out big time, i can barely move and am in agony, is there anything stronger than paracetamol i can take just so i can at least get off the sofa for a wee.

As far as i am aware there isnt, or well that is what i was led to believe by my midwife.

Someone else may be able to tell you different.

I did exactly the same thing at 15 weeks.... I had paracetamol, deep heat pads, and nurofen gel stuff....I was even rushed to casualty when it happened it was so bad....and that was all the docs would do...

I did visit a private physio for 45minutes every day for 4 days till I went on our dream holiday (yup bad timing or what ) SHe worked wonders...at least I could walk after that....

the doctor rang me back and said i could take codein too so will give that a try, i have a scan tomorrow so will ask them.

Don't bank on the sonographer being the person to tell you what you can take or not take medication wise. Unless you are seeing another Doctor or your MW to ask then

If your Doctor has said codene then it should be ok. He/she would not tell you to take it if they felt it was unsafe for you.

Co-codomal. codene phospate and co-dydromal have all been prescribed to me by docs at my hospital.

Hopeit gets better soon and good luck at your scan!

i was taking cco-codamol when i was pregnant, i would check if its ok with your gp first though, as every case is different, hope you feel better soon

you can take codeine during pregnancy over a short period of time, but over longer periods baby can become dependent on it..so i was told by my midwife today
