that won't irritate my stomach. Since having stomach irritation, I cannot take ibuprofen, Celebrex, etc.
Tramadol makes me vomit.
My pain is lower back and all over arthritis symptoms.

Have you contacted Dr, J? Have you tried glucoscamine? It really helped me when the arthritis from the lyme was bad. JKV

I talked with Dr. J at my appt. yesterday. He told me I needed to talk to my PCP about pain meds. He first suggested tramadol, but I told him it makes me sick. He then said I could take Tylenol, but I am afraid of it since it can be hard on the liver. Guess he thought I was seeking narcotics or something, but they make me vomit.
I have not tried glucosamine. I think my pain is inflammation related. Will glucosamine help that? If so, what is a good brand?
Thanks, Jen
