Is Demerol And Buscapan Effective For Leg Pain?
I have chronic pancreatitis. Later stages of the disease now. Ache in abdo most of the time but liveable throughout the day, usually, but as I lay down it gets worse. My legs will also start paining very badly so I take Demerol and Buscapan most nights. 50 to 100 Demerol and 10 mg buscapan. Is that OK or should I see if taking Amitriptylilne would be better so I can get rid of the Narcotic. I think the Demerol and Buscapan help relax the ducts and sphincters so maybe that is the only thing that will help me.

Talk to your oncologist.there are substitutes like Percocet,hydrocodone,but each is opioid like Demerol.ketanov or ketorolac and buscopan.Id like tis a good non narcotic which can be added with buscopan to cover abdominal and leg pains and rid of opioids.Amitryptaline is antidepressants only,maybe helpful when Demerol is withdrawn suddenly and substituted with ketorolac
