hi everyone. i don't know what to do. I am running low on my vicoprofen, due to the fact i have been in lots of pain and have needed more than usual. i don't have another dr. appointment for at least 2 more weeks, because the dr. wants to see what the results of my mri are next friday. should i just tough it out? i'm affraid if i call and ask for a refill they will think im abusing it. advice would be great.

I tend to tough it out ,,it means i end up sittin in my relcliner all day,,i have run out of mine as of yesterday and can not get mine filled till tues,,i have to some times take it in the middle of the night,so i run short at the end of the these last couple of months,i just got this doc and i don't want to give him any kinda of first impression,,when i go back to see my doc on 12/ 11 i am gonna ask him for some thing for night time pain,,i just met him and i am so scared to blow it with him,,i hate when we have to feel like we are doin some thing wrong when we are just neeeding relief, but unless the docs real sympathetic they tend to get the wrong idea some times ,,

my heart goes out to you sweetie,,,if ya need to talk i am here readin stuff every day just message me...

gosh I also find myself in the same spot more than once. I have to tough it out because my insurance will not pay until its time for a refill. Just do less if possible to keep the pain level down

I had that prob...when I was on hydrocodone, I would run out...I would suffer, however this last time I didn't it was 2 weeks b4 my refill my bottle sadi I could take 3 pills at once aday but was only given enough for 2 pil;ls aday. So I was in a lot of pain and I took 3 pills in one day and ran out ...just one dose....
well I showed this to the doc when I went in for more cuz he wanted to see me...I asked him about a better pain care management...but I was in a different situation, my prescrips..got messed up when I transferred docs...so I understand tho...I would tough it out til I was at the 2 week point ....I wish u well hon..take it easy

    I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
