For some reason narcotic painkillers and me do not mix.
In order to stop the pain you have to take a durg that will harm either your liver or your stomach it seems. I was put on Mobic for my Osteo-arthritis/fibromyalgia and in 3 days I was eating tums constantly. Needless to say I won't be taking Mobic, I don't want to have to live on their acid meds that have their own bad side effects. I've had to many bad reactions to their drugs over the years and try and not take more than tylenol and advil occassionaly.
All the side effects put me between a rock and a hard place as I have OA in my hands, feet, 1 knee and back, so I live in constant pain.
