when I can't take anything with ibruprofen in it because I have gastritis.  I find it so irriating when I have a serious pain issue, like a recent car accident, and I got to the ER and they try and presribe me something like Vicodin (which causes me to almost immediately have intense dizziness and severe vomitting \regardless of how much I eat) and I am then told well you can have ibruprofen and I tell them no I can't and why and then I almost always get the insuiates of drug seeking because I am usually told "well we can't give you oxycondon or oxycontin" and I tell them thats fine because those do the same thing that Vicodin does so the only plan anyone has ever came up with is to put me on a narcotic and antinausea pill at the same time but is all that necessary is there any other pain med that would work better for my situation?

I had debilitating lower back pain for 6 years , I was on and off narcotics to relieve the excrutiating pain for months at a time. I got great results from tramadol which is non-narcotic, it took about a week before it helped. I feel for you, I understand your frustration, God bless you.
