Does All Nsaids Have Sulfa In Them

Is there anyone out there that has allergic reactions to most pain meds? I can't take morphine, codene, nsaids, antibioctics, vitimins, sulfa, neurontin & prednisone.I have been on fentenal patches, & vicodin which does nothing for my pain. Now that vicodin is off the market they gave me the substitute norco 7.5 350mg. They suck. I know everything acetimin has been cut to 325mg but do these law makers realize we are just going to have to take more pills to get out of any pain? Next time I go to the dr. they will need me to be on the 10's.I don't think there are to many people like me, but in case there is does anyone know of some other pain med thats available?

But If your prescriber believes ...

## I was prescribed Oxaprozin for pain but am afraid it will give me colitis symptoms. I can't take Sulfa drugs or most NSAIDs or a variety of antiobiotics either due to this. When I am really sick with an infection, I usually just have to ride it out. Do you think it's worth a try or would you say that this is a major side effect and people with sensitive digestive systems probably will have trouble with it. I especially have trouble with generic tablets that are solt-milled and have no hard coating or aren't capsules. Thanks in advance! ## Oxaprozin is a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory, so there is a chance that it may cause you the same issues. The FDA lists its typical side effects as possibly including nausea, dizziness, headache, stomach irritation, and increased risk o...
