walshie 2,804 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 I've had a bad back for about a week now. I know it's my bed causing it as when I kip on the floor, it's not as bad. Once I've been up far about an hour, it's bearable, but until then it's excruciating. Once I feel up to mooching round the shops, I'll buy a new bed. I'd like to know if any of you have any "country remedies" you'd recommend like rubbing a rabbit's spleen on the affected area etc. Cheers. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Malt 379 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Been using them like sweets. Not a great fan of pills though. What strength? It says on the box Co-codamol 8/500. 500mg Thats 8mg of codeine and 500mg of paracetamol. Not sure if you can buy stronger than that over the counter, the ones I've got here are 30/500's for my knee pain. You can take up to 400mg of ibuprofen alongside any paracetamol based medicine. Just done a quick search, I think Paramol is the strongest over the counter painkiller you can buy, it's got dihydrocodeine in it alongside the paracetamol.. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Malt 379 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 No, you can get 12.8/500 cocodamol tablets over the counter.. http://www.boots.com/en/Solpadeine-Max-30-Tablets_11388/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites

My box of paramol is long since empty, so started on the co-co. Been taking ibuprofen as well. I'll just have to be a brave soldier till it gets better. Unless anyone has a better suggestion that A: doesn't involve exercise and B: doesn't involve reducing my waistline. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Rebel 833 Posted October 22, 2012 Report Share Posted October 22, 2012 Have you tried a bonesetter. Famous one over here called O'Neill (pronunced Nail) of Myshal. People travel from all over Ireland to see him. Obvioulsy your not going to come over here to have your back sorted out, but there might be an equivalent to Nail in your area?
