My father who never has pain suddenly developed severe, generalized pain, 1 day post-op. He received the drug Scoline. After reading your web site, I realize he now has Scoline Myalgia. Now I need to know what to do about it. How long does it last? How can I flush these chemicals out of his body quickly? He has a much bigger problem now then he did before his surgery. My father is not a whiner, and never complains. He is in excruciating pain now. He took only regular strength Tylenol post-op. He refused to take anything stronger. Tylenol does nothing for this pain. He was operated on 11-10-06. On 11-11-06, the pain started. Today 11-12-06, the pain is unbearable. PLEASE help us as soon as possible. My Father is suffering! Thankyou. 

This is not an emergency service. You should contact your doctors to arrangeﾠfor properﾠdiagnosis and treatment. If your father has scoline myalgia this is a self-limiting condition (gets better on its own) that is usually treated with simple pain medicines like Tylenol. There are no chemicals to be flushed out of the body as succinylcholine is metabolized (broken down) very quickly by enzymes in the bloodstream.
