What is the strongest over the counter pain medication you can take to help with Fibromyalgia?
Strongest does not necessarily mean the most effective. You have a problem that is hard to treat. The best bet would be to buy small bottles of asprin, motrin, aleve, and etc. Then try them out one at a time to see which one helps YOU the best. If none of them seem to help much, try taking a 1/2 dose of one and 1/2 dose of another. Sometimes a combination works better than just one. Keep a chart of all this so you will know what helps and what does not. You might also try hot wraps, ice packs, Bengay and other ointments or even a cold shower. AFTER you have gone through all the over the counter medications, talk to your doctor about a prescription drug. You might also consider a TENS unit if your pain is localized. They cost about $60 bucks and actually do help some people.
