The physician prescribes an analgesic and a muscle relaxant.

1.Mr. Smith mentions he likes to have a beer or two after work to help him unwind. Why could alcohol ingestion be dangerous when a patient is taking analgesics?

2.Mr. Smith mentions he took acetaminophen for the arthritis but it did not provide relief. Why is acetaminophen not very effective in treating arthritis?

3.What patient education should be provided with muscle relaxants?

I’m 31 and have it in both hands and wrists due to carpal tunnel syndrome. I had surgery on my right wrist a decade ago, but the left isn’t bad enough yet to go through with it. Does yours interfere with caring for or playing with your children? What have you found to provide some relief? I don’t take any of the prescription drugs for it; from what I’ve read, I’d rather live with it then the side effects of drugs.

I think it is some kind of arthritis. When I put Tiger Balm cream on the knuckle area it does give me relief until it gets washed off. The pain is awful. The cortisone shot was in the arm – took about one week to kick in and didn’t last very long. Do not want to start down that road. Is there anything like oral meds that anyone recommends that really give relief. Thanks.

I’m a writer and some days at the keyboard end in severe pain. I know tylenol-arthritis helps, but does anyone have any real advice to help ease an attack after it’s already started? Any ideas to prevent this? I’m in agony!
