paracetamol is included because it increases the effect of the other drugs without any side effects

I re-typed my earlier posts about 3 times each because I didn't want to dismiss the pain he's in, but I posted anyway because if he takes all those for 2 weeks, as soon as he stops he'll feel like he's been hit by a truck

Paracetamol in high doses can kill, high being 16 tablets. It can also cause damage over time if excessively taken.  They often prescribe it just in case it will make a difference and sometimes even if it is known it won't. It is often used by doctors as a placebo substitute. The research isn't complete yet and needs more work. Then there is getting the message out.

The opposite side is that going back early can turn a temporary injury into a permanent one, or make it worse. I used to work on ambulances and have seen this many times in the health service. The want is to get back into work, prove yourself and do stuff, which might be the worst thing possible.

Chocolate in high doses can kill, high being 27lb for an average adults. It can also cause damage over time if excessively taken.

Other muscles than your back ones get overused thats why the pain in the leg.

Diazepam is a muscle relaxant... but it messes with your brain too (they give it to depressed people too)

Liquid Morphine, must be oramorph ?  depending on your dose, it'll stop all the pain dead 10min after you take it, it's seriously powerful stuff... if you take it be careful you don't work too hard / do too much while you're pain free and feeling great because you'll make your back worse working too much too soon

did the doc say anything about phisio ?  a decent phisio can give you some exercises / stretches etc.. to do which as dumb as it sounds will make a big difference.   you should be able to get a phone number from your doc, or just the doctors office, you phone up and make your own appointment no hassle etc.

I don't need to prove myself, but i can't sit at home earning SSP which i believe is £88 a week.

That is what I wanted back in 1996 when put on the sick by the doc, was hoping a few weeks and back to work. Sick pay is sh*tty.

This can also indicate a trapped nerve. Then sometimes pain can also be transferred to different parts of the body, either further away from the injury or back along the nerve path.

Diazepam is Valium, a drug much used in anxiety disorders, alcohol withdrawal and as a muscle relaxant. As with liquid morphine both are addictive and should be taken carefully. That the doc is offering you this combination indicates that the problem probably isn't going to just go away quickly.

I will have to see what happens regarding pay.

Also, i suspect there is nerve damage as well, as it feels like it.

I didn't call the Dr back yet, will see how it goes until next Monday
