Good Morning one and all
Do any of you lovely people know if i can take cocodamol or any other strong pain killers with alecsensa? Ive had this awful pain in my right lower leg for a few months, some days its unbareable and i cant do anything. I have asked at previous appointments and they cant answer as they dont seem to know what the pain is, i have had a scan and its all clear but this weekend it was unbareable.
I’m currently on the same medication. There is quite an extensive list of medications not to take with it on the drug information sheet but don’t believe pain killers are excluded.
Can’t help why you have lower leg pain but was told it’s quite common to develop blood clots so that may be a possibility. Personally I’d phone the help line and seek medical advice re the pain and confirm you can take strong pain killers.
Thank you, I have contacted them, im currently awaiting dental work to be carried out before I start on this bone strengthening medication, (more drugs!)
