    Having suffered from a bad back for years and being a pharmacist, I would HIGHLY recommend you go see a good physician. Ask around for a physician that has a track record for treating pain and beware of going to the small clinics in Thailand.

    Healthcare is relatively cheap in Thailand and help can prevent you from winding up with stomach ulcers, kidney or liver damage or just plain addiction.

    I have used NSAIDS most of my life to help with back pain, but they do have serious side effects that you need to be made aware of. FailSafe mentioned a topical NSAID that might be worth trying, but do it under medical supervision. I have also used higher dose Acetaminophen, or as you call it, Paracetamol. There is a danger of severe liver damage or death if you take over the maximum dose of 4000mg per day. That is 8 x 500mg tablets in 24 hours. Personally, I have to take 1500mg at a time which is why the maximum dose should be known and avoided. I have seen many Tylenol overdoses in my career and it is not pretty.

    No medication is safe if not taken as intended. This is why it is much better to see a physician who specializes in pain. Many physicians are not that good at prescribing high doses of pain killers and could actually cause harm to the patient.

    To self treat, without having training in pharmacology, is a certain ticket to major side effects and even death, so proceed with caution.

    Give it was a private hospital he was probably on a 20% commission and needed the money for this years merc. Words cannot describe how I hate these doctors. My bother had migraines like that for a time, the doctors prescribed a low dose of diazepam(valium) for 3 days as a muscle relaxant as they believe the migraines were caused by tense muscles, which we caused by the stress of the pain. the drugs relaxed the muscles and killed the vicious circle... I was impressed it worked.

    The problem with pain meds and anything remotely psyco active is that thailand has some seriously stupid and unpleasant laws that cause the ill to suffer, sometimes greatly, in order to make its just a little bit harder for addicts to get to their drugs. not exactly unique to this country.

    Ive tried to get codeine for myself and relatives when the pain has been beyond the paracetonal/ibprofin cocktail (which you can double up and take simutainiously, they work independently of each other using different pathways to kill the pain) and I tell you they are seriously paranoid about it and will only proscribe a synthetic alternative which is quite unpleasant and I cannot remember the name.

    I really feel for anyone who gets a painful cancer in this country or chronic pain as their pain management skills for out patents are bloody awful and I am certain its because the doctors are shit scared of the laws of this nation.

    Not to be difficult, but NSAID's may be worse than a lesser amount of a stronger pain killer, especially since you will have to take a very high and frequent dose if your pain is bad. They cause stomach ulcers/problems and some of them are toxic to your liver in high doses. The Bangkok Post did a write up a month or so ago about the dangers of NSAID's.
    Bob, my only advice is, go to the doctor. Pay a few Bhat to get looked over. Get your script filled.

    This is hillarious, TD aka WebMD.

    I would like to find Percodans not Percocet, as that killed a lot of guys coming from Nam as it's very bad on the liver.

    You wont find it. CII narcotics are the most abused and even the US use them sparingly, usually in hospitals.
