Ack beth, I'm glad the pain is under control now, but I can't imagine how tylenol would have cut it.

There's liquid Tylenol with codeine; was it that?

Why did it need to be liquid? I'm a little confused.
It's weird in general that a prescription painkiller (eg, codeine) wasn't prescribed after a surgical procedure. But why prescribe liquid tylenol when OTC pills exist? Very odd.
t edit But Tim's doctor prescribed 800 mg ibuprofen for his old-man arthritic toe, which also makes no sense when OTC ibuprofen exists and one can take 800 mg of OTC ibuprofen (which Tim was doing before the doctor visit).
I guess I just don't understand prescribing OTC meds. Unless Matt can't take pills, in which case prescribing a specific formulation (liquid) that he can actually swallow makes sense.

When I was taking prescription naprosyn for my fibroids, my doctor asked if I had a problem taking pills. When I told him I didn't, he told me to just get some over the counter Aleve and take 3 of them, because a 30 pill bottle of the prescription stuff cost $12, but a 100 pill bottle of over the counter stuff cost $8.

I think they were worried about swallowing and keeping stuff down, because it was the esophagus.

All is well that ends in pizza.

I know it's the only way to get enough Pseudoephedrine for a month's supply...but other than that, yeah.

It can also be a way of getting the insurance company to pay part of the cost, at least with some insurance.
