Pain Pain Management : How Long Does It Take To Recover From Codeine Withdrawal What Can I Do To Ease The Pain
About two weeks ago, I had a thoracic-lumbar spinal fusion after suffering a burst fracture in my L3. The doctors gave me Tylenol 3 for the pain. For two days in the hospital, they gave me painkillers and narcotics for the pain, then I took an average of about six pills of Tylenol at day for four days. Eventually, I had to ease off because they were making me nauseous so I started taking only two, then one, then a half, then I stopped. Everyday since then (almost a week), I've been getting these bad headaches after I sit/stand/lie down too long and after I eat. Is this codeine withdrawal? How long does it last? Anything I can do, other than take another kind of painkiller? My doctor said that headaches sometimes occur after spinal surgery because of leaking spinal fluid, but there was no fluid around my incision. That's a lot of info, but if anyone can help, it'd be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance! ~~~ Sprockets ~~~
Best Answer To Pain Pain Management Question
It's Quite possible that the headaches are coming from your spinal surgery. It's very common. It sounds like you have come off of the Tylenol successfully. I don't believe you are having withdrawals from the Tylenol anymore. Contact your doctor and ask what medication or what you can do to stop the headaches. I would advise placing an ice pack on the surgery area for fifteen minutes, several times a day. Also use an ice pack on the back of your neck for fifteen minutes, several times a day, this should cut the headache.

Answer 3Codeine withdrawal headaches do occur, but generally only after you have been on them a substantial amount of time. I am inclined to think your headaches are from another source. It isn't the Codeine sweetie, call your doctor, your body has been through alot!
Answer 4its not the codeine YOU HAD AN OPERATION.....
Answer 5Since you did not take the codeine for a prolonged period of time, I would think that the headaches could very well be related to codeine withdrawal. For not taking them any longer than you did, your withdrawal, if that is what it is, would not be very painful or for very long. You just did not take the drug long enough to develop a true physical addiction. It should pass very soon. However, the headaches could be the result of something different also. Your dr is right you could be having some spinal leakage causing the headaches. Just because you don't see leakage around your incision doesn't mean you are not having the leakage. It could be just leaking inside around the spine. Just take it easy for a good 2 weeks and you should be feeling alot better by then. If not, see your doctor and let him/her know exactly what's happening. Good luck! Hope you get well soon.
