Seizures and Pain Relief Tablets.

Wed, 09/15/2010 - 08:32

I now know from experience that Propain isn't the best thing for me to take to relieve the intense burning pain in my knee and elbow joint. I was just wondering if their is anyone who could give me some suggestions of other pain relief that is available in the UK? Should I stick to pain relief tablets or look into other forms of pain relief? Please help me.

 I want to sleep without the pain in my joints and the worry something bad could happen when I sleep.

I was having a lot of pain issues this past week because of a grand mal seizure I had on friday.  My neuro told me that the only thing I can really take that will not have negative side effects is ibuprofen or acetaminophen (Tylenol).  However, I would check with your doc and see what they suggest.  Everyone reacts differently to medications, even if its just simple over the counter medicine.

On a side note, a cold compress could also help relieve joint inflammation.
