Norgesic is a muscle relaxer with some kind of anti-inflamitory
component. I've never taken it, so I'll keep you posted. Do you have
an abortive medication now? Doctors love to dish out preventative
medications, but forget about the abortives, just tell you doc that
you can't afford to goto the ER everytime you need a shot to kill the
pain. Don't be afraid to stand up for yourself. Take care and good
luck. If you need any other information just drop me a note.
