Severe Spinal Stenosis?
Spinal stenosis is a condition resulting from the narrowing of the spine that compresses the nerves in the spinal cord. The results can be excruciating pain or numbness in various parts of the body and various levels of discomfort, depending on which nerves are affected. Pain levels can vary from moderate to severe and can have a significant effect on a person's quality of life.The pain usually manifests itself in the lower back, but also in other areas including the legs, back, shoulders and arms. In addition to pain, some victims experience numbness in their limbs and a loss of coordination. Most doctors agree that it is a result of ageing and the stresses put on the spine by daily use. Treatment strategies involve: Physical TherapyThe first course of action to eliminate the pain and restore full function to stenosis sufferers is physical therapy. During therapy, back and core stomach muscles are strengthened which enable the spine to better support the body's mass and maintain the spine's flexibility. Alternative MedicineOften along with the therapy, alternative medical techniques may be employed. Acupuncture is becoming popular as a complementary treatment process, as is massage therapy. MedicationThis plays a vital role in managing the pain of stenosis. Ibuprofen and acetaminophens are often used to control pain issues and reduce swelling. Cortisone injections into the spine also has proven temporarily helpful in reducing the pain and swelling in the spine. More serious conditions invite the controlled use of narcotic pain killers like vicodin and oxycodone. SurgeryWhen these treatment methods produce little positive results, doctors may recommend minimally invasive surgical procedure as the first plan of action. This method has a quicker recovery time and less pain than most conventional surgical procedures. Many severe stenosis cases require deeper, more intrusive surgical procedures such as a laminectomy. During the process, a portion of the vertebrae is removed to allow the nerves more space and help improve the blood flow through the spine. Often this surgery can be completed in 2-3 hours and the patient is sent home to rest and begin recuperation.
How many 50mg Tramadol tablets are needed to equal the pain relief of one 10mg Vicodin?
Acetaminophen Vi codanRegarding the ? of equigesic aspects your question poses qualities which raise "Red Flags" to me.As Vicodin is indicated for : mod-sev pain of non-neurological etiology and Acetaminophen is a med used for mild-mod pain not caused by an inflammatory condition and also as an antipyretic med(lowers fever); The two drugs act quite differently. The answer to your ? is: 3-8 grams.This equals 6-16 tabs. The difficulty your ? poses in an ethical sense is that the L.D 50(the lethal dose of Tylenol which would prove fatal to 50% of users)is 9.5 Grams. The reason I'd advise against using large doses of Tylenol is ,Too much will cause liver necrosis.The risks far outweigh the benefits in this case. The tone of your ? indicates to me that you're wishing to control mod-sev pain with massive amounts of Extra-Strength Tylenol as you may not be able to access or use Vicodin.Needing as much as 8 gs' is dangerously close to the lethal o.d. value of 9.5gs'. I am a Paramedic,not a physician,but I must tell you that the amount of Tylenol you would have to take would exceed current safety guidelines and my advice is to save your Liver.Acute Acetaminophen o.d.s' are fatal due to hepatic(liver) failure due to acetaminophens' being converted by the cytochrome P450 System to a toxic metabolite that is subsequently conjugated with glutathione and excreted by the kidneys.However,when glutathione is depleted following a high dose of acetaminophen,the toxic metabolite accumulates and is thought to be the cause of acetaminophen=induced liver necrosis. Hope this helps, Dave Hobbins-E.M.T.-A-P Um....Dave,you didnt help anyone...You just confused everyone all the hell more,talk some damn english. Poor dude probably went and took 50 tynelol and 50 hydrocodone after reading the answer you gave him
