Marling, why can't you take Motrin? Demerol would not be affective against
the bone pain of gout anyway.
Incidently, I work with Hospice patients who require state-of-the-art pain
control. It is good for the members of this list to keep a couple of
things in mind when dealing with pain meds, not just for themselves - but
for their family members.
1. Bone and joint pain repond best to anti-inflammatory drugs
(Ibuprophen, aspirin, or similar non-steriodal anti-inflammatory
drugs (NSAIDS). We give these drugs in cases of bone cancer.
2. Demerol should *never* be given for long-term pain control. Morphine
is the drug of choice, especially in sustain-release form.
