Hi I'm a 38yrs. Old female. I have been experiencing a long time uncontrollable muscle spasms :( Doctors can't seem to figure out what's causing them so they've put me on 300mg of nourontin. My mother brought me back some pills on her trip to Mexico called ardosons she says they told her they would help with the spasms and inflammation.. So I guess question is can I take both nourantin and Ardoson together?? ## Hello, Ivy! How are you? Ardosons is said to contain Indomethacin, which is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, and Methocarbamol, which is a muscle relaxant. It may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, easy bruising, and increased risk of bleeding. I would not advise taking it, without your doctor's knowledge, since the Indomethacin is a ver...

It was prescribed to be for headaches caused by whiplash from being rear-ended. Now, 7 1/2 long months later, I am finally getting back to normal.

I had neck surgery in 2016 and immediately after surgery I developed a severe burning pain in my left should and down the upper part of my arm. Had xrays, CT's, shows a little arthritis, but this was from surgery. Can't find a doctor that can tell me what is wrong and what to do. I have been living with this pain almost 3 years and can hardly lift arm. Don't know what else to do. ## It sounds like you might have nerve damage from the surgery, or from the problem that made the surgery necessary, unfortunately, that is a risk with almost all surgeries. You can learn more about it on the NCBI website. Have you consulted a neurologist, yet? They are usually the best person to consult in such cases. ## Thank you. Yes I have consulted with neurologist they have no idea what is wr...

I have been taking meloxicam 15 mg once per day for RA for more than six years now. I would like to know whether it is safe to use the drug for such a long duration? I can not stop this drug in my present condition. Is there any data available on this subject? Thanks in advance. ## Hi, Joy! Meloxicam is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so yes there may be some issues caused by long term use, such as stomach ulceration, edema, hypertension, congestive heart failure and liver damage. Is your doctor monitoring you regularly? Usually regular exams and blood tests are the best way to keep an eye on things and head off any problems, before they have a chance to get serious.

I need to know where I can find it. Does anyone have more information about this supplement? ## Can people still order Artidol or is it not available anymore? ## I would like to be able to help you out, but there's a lot of mixed information online about this medication. Each reference stating it to be something different than what the last one said it was. Apparently the ingredients are different depending on who or where you get it from; although each brand of this has the same purpose for helping your joints and arthritis, etc. What I found out was, If the medication is manufactured by Merck; then it contains: Phenylpropyl Salicylate + Hydroxymethoxu Ethyl Benzoate Additionally, a post here on this site states that Artridol contains the active ingredient Glucosamine, which is a s...

can you take other pain medications wiht this perscription? ## can you take indomethacin and percocet? ## It is not generally advised, Indomethacin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory and Percocet contains Acetaminophen, which is also a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, thus combining the two is not necessary and could be dangerous, as you could overdose. You can read more about Indomethacin here: and Percocet: Is there anything else I can help you with? ## I am in AGONY! When I started taking indomethacin it worked like a charm!!! But now if I take one for a migraine it immediately gets worse, even with ice over my eyes while sleeping. When I wake up it feels like I have been hit in the face with a brick!!!!! I dont want to take this anymore... Any remedies or suggestions????

I have severe fibromyalgia and arthritis. I am in severe pain most of the time with no relief. ## Hello, Sherri! How are you? If you require such a medication for the long-term ongoing treatment of pain, you'll need to see a pain management specialist, due to the new directives set forth by the DEA last year. Most general practitioners aren't going to want to take the risk of prescribing it. Do you currently have a PCP that could refer you to someone? If so, that might be the quickest and easiest way to find the help you need. The FDA lists this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation. What is your general location? This information might en...

Manteca Maslac is available through Amazon, who ships internationally from what I understand. They charge $11.00 for the product + $4.49 for shipping (at least in the US). Looks like only 2 are left in stock at the timing of my post, but if they sell out I would check back periodically. Hope this helps! {affiliate link added}
