A member asked:
I have a boxer's fracture, i set the bone immediately after i broke it and splinted it, but cannot afford a dr copay. are painkillers obtainable?

Not on telemedicine : I recommend checking with a doc to make sure that it will heal correctly. For pain, anti inflammatory medications such as Motrin can be taken at the same time as Tylenol. You can also use ice. These are over the counter.
