It says "Zentiva, Co-codamol 30/500". I also have Ibuprofen, Lansoprozole to line my stomach to stop the first 2 from rotting it away and finally a mix of Senokot and Cod Liver Oil to unblock the blockage that the first 3 create. I've stopped taking Pregabalin and Amitryptiline.
I could make a fortune at Glastonbury selling that lot!

You can take over 2.4mg of ibuprofen a day. only problem is: they don't even take the edge off.
I'm on 150mg of Diclofenac, but I cant stay on that for ever. Found some 500mg (2 per day) Naproxen tabs the other day, not bad but, they seem to wear off after a couple of months.
I am on the 30/500 cocodomol(8 a aday) and the diclofenac(2 a day) and allorpurinal and irbersatan and the liningone. The pains are still there but as long as you keep moving it is not too bad. Its the sleeping hours that are the worst. Damn the arthritis/gout and fibromyalgia. Still I suppose it is better than the big C!!
Keep on popping them!

I had a load of spinal injections last week. L4, L5 and S1 vertebrae. Some local jabs and then the big ones in between the breaks to try and quieten the Sciatic pain down.
Problem with having so many injections near the ar5e is that every time I fart it sounds like the woodwind section of the London Philharmonic warming up.

Try co-proxamol if you can get it, and dont let them tell you its no longer available I have been using 8 a day for years and no troubles.

I was on naproxin and ace inhibitors prescribed on the same day nearly did my liver in the same way as alcohol poisoning ! a normal blood count for liver function is 30units mine was 190!
I checked up and found the connection between the two, and stopped taking them.
thankfully my liver has recovered.
the co- codamol doesnt effect the liver, naproxin is nasty stuff.
It is the codene that causes you to suffer constipation which is exactly the opposite to the condition I also suffer from which is ulcerative colitus so that works out ok for me

Are we qualified physicians then .. giving out all this dangerous medical advice ??? 
My GP nearly killed me five months ago & I only recently found it out a few weeks ago . He gave me med prescriptions for arthritis relief every month, for five months in 28 day packs for something I should only have ever taken for three or four days at the most once a month .
It put me very close to suffocating in my own body fluids and /or a heart attack .
I went sick saying I could hardly breathe and my chest hurt like hell plus I was feeling very sleepy and permanently tired & my pee was as yellow as real beer. He did a pee test and said ... " Oh these Meloxicam tablets do that to you , they are very dangerous to take long term ."
He was the s*d that prescribed them to me in the first place and kept giving the repeat prescriptions . No .....they didn't do a thing for the inflammation & pain .
There was no warning on the labels nor was I given one verbally .
Suddenly no more of the anti inflammatory tablets , I was given a new prescription for month of a double dose of a diuretic's to help flush out the crap out of my wreck of a body .
They made it dangerous for me to be away from home as I ended up peeing like a racehorse every 20 minutes or so from 07.30 till 22 .30 ish
I've just finished this month long flushing period and will now come off the diuretics .
The good news is I feel much better than I have for years ... it must be " The dead cat ( Mandela ) bounce "

Yeah there is one somewhere close, I keep meaning to ask, but forget.
As for taking tabs, the first thing I do is read up on them. I was given Pregabalin jan last yr by the consultant. Didn't fancy taking them so Dr put me on the Diclofenac. Helps a lot but if I'm bending a lot or crawling about they don't help.
I've heard a lump of lead in a copper coating works

pain clinic is worth it
Diclofenac was no good to me ibruprofin worked better but either the liver or kidney dont like it im barred off it Pregabalin works brill as a pain killer i could stick a knife in my arm and not feel it bad no pain but the weight gain is horrendous 3 stone in 4 months for me some people dont get the weight gain but you have to try it to find out
But getting rid of the weight gain is the problem for me as i cant exercise much so still 2 stone up on what i was before taking it hard to lose weight when you are 60 plus
