Price of drugs.

Got 3 prescriptions yesterday.

60 Vicodin with 3 refills 
60 Flexeril   
and one of those steroid dose packs.
Total cost $35.74 with no insurance. 

I've been avoiding the doctor for 3 weeks due to not having insurance. Some times in so much pain I can't even stand up. Between the doctor and the scripts the total was 102.00.

Hi my name is Jeff and I'm an idiot. 

On the down side my back is so distorted they couldn't take an xray.

LOL  I completely understand.  I'm actually the same way, and I have insurance.  Somehow I think if I ever need to/try to use it I'll end up owing money I don't want to spend.  I too am an idiot.

Good score on the meds.  That is a great price.  I would also say the steroid pack will do you the most good.

How's the bat cave dealie working?  Any relief yet?

The relief is short lived but it does offer some. I can definitely feel the stretch. I think long term it will do good.

 I have had back problems for about 15 years. Some times I can go 2 years without an episode. I will say this is the worst it has ever been. Today the pain is bordering on intolerable when I stand up.

I think the long term solution for you is obvious.  Go to Wal-Mart, scout out a good place (wet floor is the Holy Grail) but any electrical cord, pallet jack, or pile of boxes will do, and just fall down.

Good luck. 

See you Palm Springs next Winter.

Interesting. My co-pay for each prescription is $10. So my monthly premium would have netted me a savings of $5.74. I guess some drugs cost more than others, but still...

I took Flexeril for a couple days and it relaxed every muscle in the body. Every one. It took me 30 min to pee because I couldn't stop it.
