I take Advil Liqui-gels, 4/day regularly. I take Cyclobenzaprine as needed for bad pain. I take Hydroco/APAP for really bad pain. Non of these affects my BG very much, if at all. the last 2 do zonk me out so I usually sleep good after taking them. >>I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad >> back, This has sent my BC thru the roof.

I am afraid to use much medication to relieve distress.There may come the time I will need them. Many do need the relief. I prefer to delay this route My mother was in the pain relief drug route. She had a minor car wreck and she had many broken bones while other occupants had bruises. It was fatal for her which may have been a blessing. Recreational use of drugs is beyond my ability to understand. >>I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad >> back, This has sent my BC thru the roof. Is this normal.

But how long have you been taking them? It makes a difference.

I have been >taking them for 10 days now I apparently misunderstood what you meant by BC. I thought you meant Blue Cross and they were pissed because they were having to help pay for all of those. Then I read other replies and realize you meant BG (blood glucose) and you were calling it BC. What does that stand for? SignatureGrandpa Chuck -ô¿ô- ~ Americans killed in Iraq as of December 30, 2006 is 2998. United Kingdom = 127 Other = 123. Non-Mortal American casualties 46,880 as of December 02, 2006. Over 100 Iraqi civilians are killed every day. Most by so-called insurgents. As of December 30, 2006 it has been 1337 days since Bush declared, "Mission Accomplished."

Is this normal. I have been > taking them for 10 days now I too took Hydroco/APAP like ANON did and it did not effect my BG at all. It did make me very sleepy though. That's why I only took it at bedtime. >I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad > back, This has sent my BC thru the roof. Is this normal. I have been > taking them for 10 days now BC? Do you mean BG? If so it's more likely the pain that is causing the high BG and not the meds. > I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad > back, This has sent my BC thru the roof. Is this normal. I have been > taking them for 10 days now It may well be the pain that's sending your BG up. It'll do that.

Is this normal. I have been > taking them for 10 days now I was on an extended program of pain killers and anti-inflammatories for an extended period of time and was on many different kinds. Robaxicet with codeine, Naprosen, Celebrex and Vioxx. The only one I had any problem with was Vioxx. I took it for 3 days and BG went off the map. Under the circumstances I consider myself lucky!

No, I wasn't. They kept trying to find something that worked. There are differences in them. I spent a year on Naproxen and had to quit because it started to cause kidney damage. The worst was the Robaxicet. It turned me into a zombie. As for the Vioxx, my endo said I was the only person he had heard of that had BG problems. But, as I said, wasn't I lucky! Martha T2 Canada : I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad : back, This has sent my BC thru the roof. Is this normal. I have been : taking them for 10 days now Two things can be the probelm. The stree of the pain from the back can cause elevated bgs and if you are on any kind of steroid tht ccan send the bgs through the roof. Wendy :I am taking painkillers, muscle relaxer and antiinflamatories for a bad : back, This has sent my BC thru the roof. Is this normal. I have been : taking them for 10 days now It's NOT the medications that are causing your glucose to go higher, it's the medication isn't controlling your pain properly. What pain meds are you taking? There are various ones on the market that work better for some then others, you need to talk to your doctor to figure out which will help control your pain better, which will reduce your glucose.
