Type 2 Painkillers safe to take?

[Tafkarsdad]

Suffering with adhesive capsulitis .... type 2 and heart by pass. Any recommendations for safe painkillers please?

Probably your best bet would be to ask your pharmacist, but hope you get some relief from the pain soon @Tafkarsdad

My wife was given amitriptyline by her consultant which worked well and has few side effects - not sure about use if diabetic. For true AC don't have steroid injections as they will have no effect but many GPs don't seem to know this

How risky are painkillers? Today I was prescribed 2 paracetamol 500mg 4 times a day with instructions to go back if they do not hold the pain. This is the maximum dose and should not be taken if I have liver disease. I have read that all diabetics have fatty liver disease. Will taking paracetamol damage the liver further? Should I ask for another type of painkiller? Previously I have taken ibuprofen when the pain has been really bad. Sometimes a pharmicist has taken pity on me but usually I just had the usual over the counter dose.

I did check with the pharmacist to ensure the paracetamol will not affect my eyedrops. Simbrinza and Ganfort. I understand those include beta blockers. Presumably they will not be in my blood stream.

The blurb says not to drink more than 3 alcohol beverages. I drink more than ever before but it is only 1 bottle aldi baron st jean over the week. Do I have to do without?

We cannot advise on or recommend medication here as we are not privy to your health records or history, it would be best to discuss this with your doctor or other health professional or as has been said a pharmacist.

Best of luck and hope your pain issues are resolved soon.
