My back was hurting me so I took a Fioriect and now I have no back pain.It also helped my nerves.
Is Fioricet good for back pain
I use Fioricet with codeine for severe inflammation of L4-5 and stenosis. My doctor told me it doesn't help back pain, but I totally disagree with her because it's helping me!
Yes it helped me
I too suffer from the exact same diagnoses, interesting actually & I'm looking forward to seeing results from fioricet, thx !
I have spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia. All the medicines that have been given which are tizanidine, Meloxicam, and Gabapentin would not get rid of the pain. The Butalbital-aspirin-caffeine that I take for migraine headaches (generic Fioricet) is the only thing that gives me comfort from the pain in my back. I don't know why, but it does. I am going to ask my doctor why nothing works for the pain, but this. The pain gets so bad at times that I need relief because I cannot function, sit, or stand. I am so glad that I have found something that works for me for my migraines and pain of spinal stenosis and fibromyalgia.
I have bad muscle spasms and it really help me. It also calms anxiety.
sandra; Yes just as my friend Stephen has said, But really this is not very effective for back pain you really should wait and check with your doctor.
I think your wrong but everyone is different. It really helped my back pain and my anxiety.
Fioricet is likely to be only effective as a painkiller if the backache is caused by spasming or tight muscles. It contains Acetaminophen as the active painkiller, a barbiturate to sooth muscle contractions and caffeine to aid blood flow to the area (normally prescribed for tension headaches it is also used off-label). source, drugs.com
That's probably why it helped me I have bad back spasms.
