Question by Bobby: What do pain pills do to your cardio?
I train in MMA (not that good, just enjoy it), and sometimes you get pretty sore and endure some pain. Do prescription pain pills, or even just over-the-counter medicines have detrimental effects on your cardio? I ask because I have heard that your body actually goes into “detox” mode to flush them out, which then slows you down. Thanks.

Best answer:

Answer by Dr. Guess
If you use them sporadically.. (not very often) — Then regardless of the medication.. no, it will not effect any part of your body if you are other wise healthy.

Now, for more chronic use.. it goes something like this:

For all pain relievers , if used more than once every 10-14 days, there are quite a few theories in the scientific community that support the idea that your pain threshold is lowered due to the use. Especially of narcotic pain relievers.. ie: Opiates — e.g.: Lortab, Vicodin, Oxycontin, Codeine, etc.    Read more...

Question by Michael: i need help on what i should do for my prescription(methadone vs subutex/suboxone)?
2 years ago i broke my l2 in a snowboarding accident. it was horrible! 7 days in the hospital, so much pain that i couldn’t sleep or do anything for months after. i wore a brace for 3 months and finally recovered and went to physical therapy. i’m 24 years old btw just wanted to throw that in there. anyways, i became dependent on pain pills. it started with 5mg oxycodone, then went to 10mg, then 30 mg oxycodone when i would have pain. eventually the pain became less, but i still had to take the oxy because i was dependent both physically and in a way mentally. about a year later i stopped off and on and eventualy was prescribed by my GP 10mg methadone for pain. i took this for about 4-5 months and he eventually told me he couldn’t give me anymore and i had to see a pain management specialist. i followed up and went to the pain management doc, and they suggested physical therapy. this is about a year later. i didn’t like the fact that i had to come in 2-3 times a week for exercises i could easily do at my home on my free time. i was also withdrawing from the methadone. i went to a psychiatrist who specializes in detox and he gave me suboxone. i would feel so crappy on the suboxone. i’ve tried subutex before and i remember it was a bit better. it made me feel better and allowed me to be more lively. anyways, i had a relapse for 1 month so i recently went back to my psyciatrist. he gave me 16 methadone pills. and i did a 4 day methadone detox. i used the methadone for 4 days and then on the 5th day nothing. i did use a little tiny bit of suboxone.    Read more...
