Co-codamol 30mg/500mg is NOT low pain relief. 8mg/500mg is low, 15mg/500mg would be medium.
30/500 is a very strong pain relief pill.

Hi @joyclyn, other community members are welcome to share their experiences with pain relief. However, as we're not medical professionals, I do have to advise that any queries or concerns about your medication should be discussed with your GP or a medical professional involved in your care, as they will be the best placed to help out.
If you're struggling with pain, you may also like to have a chat with our friendly chronic pain advisor, who may be able to offer some guidance! -
@joyclyn Hi has your assessor said that it' a Low dose?

Hi Joycelyn.
I take those 4 times a day and my assessor didn’t consider it a low dose at all.

I am between treatments for rheumatoid arthritis so my RA is not controlled. I take the maximum Naproxen each day plus 2 500/10mg co-dydramol 3 or 4 times a day plus 6 200mg ibuprofen a day and still I am in severe pain. Hospital delayed start of new meds unnecessarily imo. I asked for treatment start date to be brought forward which it was but then kept been postponed! Fortunately I already had an appointment at another clinic which none of the doctors or nurses seemed to be aware of! So my new treatment should be starting soon. Otherwise who knows how long I'd have had to wait. And this is a 'top' teaching hospital!

Hope I have not caused trouble asking about tablets it was because the assessor has down. As low pain relief thank you all who replied
-
No problem joyclyn, as Pippa says you should always speak to your care proffesionals about any concerns with your medication

Be all you can be, make every day count. Namaste -
My assessor did the same - described Naproxen as a 'mild' painkiller to try and make my condition seem less serious than it is! Naproxen is between moderate and strong.

Nurses would know about some meds but the paramedics wouldn't. My assessor, a paramedic, couldn't even pronounce the name of one of my meds.
