The symptom of sciatica pain is still there during the time I consuming my second batch of medicine. The pain is back after few hours I consumed Anarex and N-Cobal. I understand this is the help of Anarex as it consists of Paracetamol which helps to relief pain.

So, I decided to ask help from Traditional Chinese Medicine. I undergo acupuncture therapeutic nearby my area. This is the doctor I always go and I saw lots of her patients are undergoing acupuncture. I give myself a chance to try on it.

I can not relax myself at the first time of acupuncture. As you can imagine, it is really scary when the time the needle insert into skin.

This is for my own record to jot down what I have been taken for my sciatica recovery journey. I told doctor about I am swell after taken my 1st batch medicine for the last 14 days.

This is the second batch medicine: -

N-Cobal 0.5mg film coated tablet (B12)
Take 1 tablet, 1 x a day
After food

Anarex Tablet
Orphenadrine Citrate BP 35mg,
Paracetamol BP 450mg
(Norgesic Tab)
[Controlled medicine]
Take 1 tablet, 1 x a day
After food

I didn’t confirm with my doctor but I think probably is the Arcoxia (etoricoxib, MSD) 90mg Tablet made me swell. I have no more swell with N-Cobal and Anarex one table each a day.

I hate to stand in front of my mirror every morning after I woke up. I placed my eyeglass on my dressing table when I go bed. Every morning when I wear my eyeglass, I will see my ugly face. I just can not believe my eyes when the first day I saw my ugly face.

It is no doubt that this is the slipped disc pill’s side effect. What is happen when a slice of bread goes into water? This is how my face looks now. The size of my face grows double. That is not fat but swell. The swell is so significant when I woke up every morning.

I love to see myself looks no longer skinny but this is really too much. I am not trying to be exaggeration but this is what happens to me now. I hate this!

The pains start from my right hip till my foot. That was happened few months ago. But now it becomes more serious until I can not sleep well. Because of the previous experience, I go to see the same doctor and now I am on medication.

Previously (that was in Year 2003) I just need to take 1 type of medicine which is the pain killer. But now, I need to take 3 types of medicine.

Here are the medicines I need to take for the first two weeks: -

N-Cobal 0.5mg film coated tablet (B12)
Take 1 tablet, 2 x a day
After food

Arcoxia (etoricoxib, MSD) 90mg Tablet
[Controlled medicine]
Take 1 tablet, 1 x a day
After food

Anarex Tablet
Orphenadrine Citrate BP 35mg,
Paracetamol BP 450mg
(Norgesic Tab)
[Controlled medicine]
Take 1 tablet, 2 x a day
After food

I will need to go for CT scan if still pain after these two weeks medication. This is what I am worring.

Cross my fingers the pain gone faster!

*You all, take good care of your back!*
