Codeine

[girlinterrupted]

Has anyone tried/been on/still on codeine for pain?? I was put on it few years back for the pain (which they keep sayin is 'gastritis' without any testing). Though they are now in the process in testing me for crohns. I have noticed on here tramadol seems to be a painkiller that's quite common, I haven't ever tried it as I say my gp put me on codeine an I found it helped so much with pain (which I get regularly navel to upper stomach and sometimes down left side$

Any advice or comments are much appreciated!! Thanks!

I've been on codeine for pain. Codeine can be found in a lot of different pain medications though so some have worked for me, others haven't. It depends on the strength of the medicine for me. I find that even Tylenol 3 (with codeine) is completely useless and does nothing for pain for me.


Oh, and I've been wondering... Your username, any influence from the movie?

I think they gave it to me as its a pure pain killer and obviously ibupprofen is a no no, so obviously it was something that wouldn't do any more damage to the stomach ... Yeh it is from the movie lol, a lot of people haven't even heard of it!!

I have used codeine.Tramadol is better if tolerated in crohn's as fewer gi effects.

I've had both Codeine and Tramadol. I found Tramadol worked wonders for the pain and works better than Codeine. If Codeine is still leaving you in a fair bit of pain it might be worth asking your doctor about trying Tramadol. I did find that Tramadol made me feel slightly woozy the first couple of times I had it but my body soon adapted and I felt fine to take it.

Does anyone know if it's ok to take Codeine alone with their Humira?
