But probably best just to kill yourself.

Not much else I can suggest.

Dont worry mate, you have been VERY helpful !!!!!!

It's very addictive - if you use it for very short term, then it'd be ok, but only very short term!

well i did it 3 weeks ago, so hopefully only another 3 weeks til its gone - i only really want them to get me through the games on saturdays for now.....

brilliant thanx very much mate - can i get that Solpadol over the counter?

Doubt it, mine were on Prescription. Best call your GP

you're right - just went in and all he could give me was Solphadine ..... so im waiting on the docs to call me back as i'm guessing the ones you suggested are much stronger!

Strap them up just b4 the game but insert 2 of those heat patches under the strapping if your a hairy chap dont use the sticky type of strapping for obvious reasons i failed to realise when i did the same thing. Oh and dont go up for 50-50 headers

thanx mate - what can i use for strapping?

 

[Taybha]

a couple of wide diameter bandages the thick stuff not gauze,then use a good type of plaster to seal the ends.i used duck tape,on the down side you have to get a mate to strap you up,never tight enough when you try to do it yourself. check to see if your turning blue b4 ko.

Any better?

no mate - im startng to get really pissed off.

solphadol hasn't even touched the sides.

i spoken t the Crawley Town physio yesterday and now thinking maybe the pain is the muscle inbetween the ribs, rather than the actual bone....

...that would explain why it took a week to feel the pain.

in agony now everytime i move so have gone back to ibroprofen and paracetamol today - not much working though - dont no what the f*** to try!

Having damaged my ribs just after Xmas, I took Paracetomel and Codeine morning and night... the ones at night were to allow me to sleep - it was bl**dy agony!

Solpadol is horrendously addictive!

I've been on Solpadol for quite a while now and I've had no problems with addiction ( unlike the morphine & tramadol I was taking ) But one really bad side effect I get is horrendous constipation.

i cant believe how everyone rates this solphadol and after 2 days i felt NO better or less pain at all.... gutted

would you say Codeine is better than ibroprofen mate?

I dont rate it that well but it's the strongest i'm allowed to take now so it's that or nothing, At best it just takes a slight edge off the pain.

Well, the lady in Boots said that they were the strongest I could get without a prescription. One caveat is that I can't swallow tablets, so these were big old soluble ones.

These are the lads:

currently have cracked rib done last Sunday - 60mg of codeine and 1000mg of paracetomal both 4 times a day

But any cough and its still through the roof. On top of that i find a sleeping tablet works for getting through the night.
