canthai55 Posted December 14, 2015 Share Posted December 14, 2015 Done some searching on the Web. Seems NSAID's are a big No-No. Acetaminophen (paracetamol, Tylenol, et al) seems to be the preferred over the counter pain med. Anyone have a favorite - or option - ? Only required for the odd headache, and my old knee acts up sometimes, needs a little shot of Doctor Feelgood. Thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Berindist Posted December 17, 2015 Share Posted December 17, 2015 Yes, paracetamol is considered pretty safe for both adults and children. If you come to Singapore you cannot buy other medicines without prescription in any pharmacy, except paracetamol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheryl Posted December 21, 2015 Share Posted December 21, 2015 Frankly all analgesics are metabolized in the liver so should try to avoid, I suggest instead non-pharnacological measures such as massage, applications of heat or cold, or use of a TENs unit. These are usually well abl;e to relieve headaches and knee pain etc. If it is really unbearable and you must take something, then paracetemol is the least worst option but should keep to low dosage and very, very infrequent.

Many thanks for your reply. I was diagnosed with Hep C over 25 years ago when I stopped drinking. Monthly liver function test performed for about 2 years and showed a gradual lessening of impaired function. Finally levelled off, and not been rising (touch wood) Also had ulcers for years, slight discomfort, prescribed Ran-Pantaprazole for this but take very infrequently, 200 pills last almost 4 years. How does this machine look to you ? http://www.tensunits.com/product/DI8195.html Edited December 21, 2015 by canthai55 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheryl Posted December 22, 2015 Share Posted December 22, 2015 No idea about that particular machine but most of them work fine. There are much cheaper models available but as with anything else, cheaper ones do not last as long. Anything that results in a palpable electrical jolt will work. Placement of the electrodes is a matter if trial and error. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
