I've had to use ONE oxicodone in 6 weeks. It's not mear butt burn , that's a walk in the park. I have a severe reaction to Incevek exiting my rectum. It inflamed my rectum swelling it almost closed. It feels like I have at times a pike with a barb shoved 10" up and is being pulled out a bit with every heart beat. I went through bouts of this for weeks until the Belladonna found me.

For what it's worth...

I used an oxycodon tab (left over from a neck injury) on 3 occasions while on the Incivek triple Tx. These tabs had no other ingredients (like acetaminophen, etc).

It was during a bad Pegays rxn, and I was miserable.  It was a godsend, let me get some badly needed sleep.

I would not have considered using them for the butt burn, as that happened too frequently, and it would not be prudent to take them that often.

I had a drinking problem years ago, but never have had a problem with opiates, so for me this was ok.

Glad you got a handle on this.  The but burn part is murder :((

I briefly flirted with opiates while in Viet Nam, and when I look back on that experience I recall what George Jones once sung: " there's nothing better once you've had the best".

I only can take four Tylenol a day. It makes me extremely constipated and only make thing worse. Funny after being sober and off opiates for 24 yrs. I still feel the need to get permission from my Drs. To take meds. as directed.

Cool, 24 years. Hope the new butt meds work. I tried a homeopathic remedy years ago and it was mainly a trace speck of belladonna. Not sure if it had any affect, but it was a trip trying it. I've been sober for awhile too and wouldn't hesitate to do what youre doing.

 That might be the route to take; I have a prescription for Xanax(anti-anxiety) that has helped take the 'edge' off some ongoing issues, but I've found that it also helps relieve some pain deep in the shoulder blade/upper back area that I strained about a month ago.

 Brian,

Sorry to hear of your pain plight, I have thought whimsically about obtaining street drugs for pain relief, since it appears that health care providers are skitterish about RXing effective pain meds.    I do realize that FDA regulations complicate matters for providers who would be otherwise willing to script a poor soul some pain relief.

Being in pain is a challange, because I believe all pain medicine can be bad for the liver to some degree. When I am in pain I have this internal battle; take something and feel better or tough it out. Anytime I get a headache I quickly fold and take something. One time I was at the ER in pain, and even though I told them I have hep c, they shot me up with Dilaudid

Hope you feel better.

I had it really bad while on incivek. There were some days where it just hurt to walk, and I was miserable. The creams helped, but I don't think there is any way to make it "feel normal". The good news is after incivek it quickly gets better. Be very gentle with that area and hang in there.

They won't Rx a pain med. the Lanocain seems to work for now.

I have been having severe rectal pressure and pain. I drink the water, use medicated wipes, soft fatty diet. And a hydro cortizon insertable ointment My question is does anyone take pain meds. for this? I'm seriously thinking about getting a script of something strong. I can't take it anymore!... Brian I just got off the phone with my Dr they called in a lanocain cream. If this doesn't do the trick they have what the called a old school sapositoy.
