What can be used for pain that is not an NSAID?
Actually Tramadol is a narcotic. Treating back pain without a narcotic can be tough. Gabapentin works for some people, but it's mainly used to treat nerve pain. I would suggest asking your doctor for Tylenol3. Although it is acetaminophen with codeine, it is not as addictive as hydrocodone and oxycodone.
What causes Pain in pelvic area?
could be caused by iternal tissue trauma I don't really think its tissue trauma. I myself have experienced this pain. I have had it checked out and it turned out to be hpv, which can be classified as a sexually transmitted infection. I've spoke to others who have had it and they have had the same symptoms.I know this sounds disgusting but the center for disease control estimates that 80 percent of all women will have had it by the time they are 50. Most men don't know they even have it because they is no test to determine it in men, leaving it only diagnosable in women, and it can remain dormant for a long time. I myself was in a monogomous relationship for three years before I found out. MY SUGGESTION TO YOU IS GET A PAP and DON"T WASTE ANY TIME.
Pain on left side when breathing?
All type of pain that does not go away should be examined closer by a professional. Most likely, however, you have got a small injury:
You may have broken a rib-bone, got a tissue injury by a hit or over-stretched some muscles. Your muscles may also be worn because of bad positions when sitting and sleeping, or suffer from lack of use. You may also suffer from muscular tension due to nervous factors.
Try to find the exact spot by feeling with your fingers. Also swing your arms all possible ways to see if that also makes pain and to find the spot.

How do you stop throat from burning after throwing up?
An antacid tablet would probably help, a better thing to do is take one before you throw up if you think you're going to. Help neutralize the stomach acid that otherwise burns your throat. Will still burn a little though.
Ice helps in most cases, in this one too. Gulp cool water or ice and it will get slightly better

How much mg of pain reliver can you take at one time?
it really depends on the type of pain reliever. if it is anything over the counter like Motrin or Tylenol then it isn't recommended that you ever exceed 4000mg a day. liver damage and failure happens at that point,
if it is any prescription pain reliever such as percocet, oxycodone, hydrocodone, morphine or Oxycontin than you must be very careful. these are narcotic opiate pain killers and overdose is very common. There is a very thin line with these and what kills one person might not kill you. it is never safe to take more than prescribed but it is extremely common. It would depend on your body weight and how often you take pain killers to say how many milligrams is safe for you. Its always a better idea to just take the recommended dose and follow all directions your doctor gives you.
Which is better for pain management hydromorphone hcl 16 mg or oxycodone hcl 60 mg?
Both opiate medications are very powerful painkillers that achieve the exact same results. The hydromorphone has 16mg of opiates and the oxycodone has 60mg of opiates. Both are time release so don't cut them in half and then take them or you could overdose.
Its always best to take the lowest dosage that works and increase that dose only when the lower dose is no longer working. Whatever you do be sure to stay in contact with your doctor before making any changes in dosage of any medication but this is especially true with any opiate medication.
It's also a good idea to have some Narcan on hand just in case of an accidental overdose . Narcan can and will will save your life. Your doctor can prescribe Narcan for you and it's cheep..
Opiate pain medication is highly addictive and that addiction will creep up on you and you won't see it until it's late. Take it from an old veteran it's no fun being addicted to opiates then trying to get clean. It will be one of the hardest things to have to go through. Unfortunately for most addicts it usually doesn't end well.
Take Care, Stay safe and good luck!
Can gas cause pains in your chest and arm area and you feel it when you take a deep breath?
YES! Especially after surgery, but gas can travel virtually anywhere in the body and cause pain. Some other causes of pain in the chest: heart problems (obviously), pleurisy (inflammation of the lining around the lungs), heartburn. Gas and pleuricy give sharp pain...a heart attack can as well. Heartburn is normally a dull, burning pain.

Best guess is the onset of a migraine headache, although more detail would help (feel free to add to the Discussion section of this question). Has this happened before? Does it come and go? Anything new in your routine?

What can cause pain in the tip of the nose?
How about a pimple that is under the skin . Actually a build up of bacteria . Often it's an ingrown hair. If your Ph level is off you can get a very sore little bump inside the nostril, in your mouth on your tongue, sore gums or even a sore on your lip. In a day or so the bump will go away. Most people get them.
How do you get rid of a blister on the bottom of your tongue?
I have these as well, and have been told it is an allergic reaction to something. I recently had a bad blood test, stating that my B-12 levels were extremely low. I began taking Sublingual Tablets and liquid form of vitamin B-12, which go under your tongue, to try to increase my levels before my next blood test. Apparently I am allergic to something in it. I now am taking benadryl, and it seems to be helping shrink them and help with the pain. My lips, tongue and the better part of the front inside of my mouth swelled and burned like nothing I have ever felt before. I lived with the constant feeling of just drinking something terribly hot and being scalded. The tip of my tongue felt like I was constantly getting paper cuts all over. I went to the Doctor, and was given a script for Magic Mouth Wash, and an antibiotic. 4 days later, I have clear blisters all over the center back of my tongue, going down the sides. So far, only the benedryl seems to be providing any relief.
How do you disvirgin a girl without pain?
You do not break your hymen - it can tear but only if penetration is rough or forced, and even when torn it doesn't normally hurt. There's no reason to tear your hymen, just leave it the hell alone.

How can you get a prescription of oxycodone?
First of all, you need a pain management doctor, a legitimate back problem or some type of chronic pain that never goes away, and proof via x-rays or other tests in order to be prescribed Oxycontin. The only opiate you will be prescribed without proof is, if you're lucky, Vicodin... maybe even Percocet. if you're REALLY lucky.
It will takes MONTHS to be able to get prescribed Oxycontin. And even then, it's not guaranteed. Doctors are scared about the DEA swooping in and lifting on their license because of the certain doctors who prescribed OC loosely and got locked up, or trust me, doctors would be a little more lenient to prescribe them. It's a shame, because for those of us in serious pain, Oxycontin is probably one of the best medications out there for a lot of people.
