Hello Hockeygirl08. There are other over the counter medications, that will help with the pain. To be truthfull, get a second opinion. You never know. Your doctor might have overlooked something. best of wishes, hope your pain lessens, you feel somewhat beter.

Hey Hockeygirl,

Best to go back to the doctor and explain you are still in pain or as Pledge suggested get a second opinion. You might try some over the counter Aleve. It is a non steroidal anti inflammatory that may help the problem. Once the source of the pain is diagnosed it will be easier to treat with the appropriate means. Did you hurt your back somehow?

Best wishes,

Laurie

Dear Hockeygirl
one of two things I would either let this physician know that this was pain that was not controlled, sometimes a doctor doesn't always find a problem and if that doesn't work you have every right to obtain a second Opinion, the body reacts by giving out signals of pain allowing you to know there is a problem I wish you the very best

if you're wanting OTC meds, I'd say try aleve or rapid-release tylenol. the rapid-release works so much better--off brand or generic is fine... if you like the advil, which is just another name for ibuprofen and motrin, you can take up to 800mgs safely. 800mgs is how much is in prescription strength ibuprofen/advil/motrin.
