Hello SharonTom

As RayD says going to the doctor is the best thing to do.  

“Pain gel” is not really a long term solution.  
Doctor may further investigate cause of pain and prescribe better option.

Hope you find a solution soon,

Kind regards

Maria

Yes I have noticed that some medications are more expensive in Spanish pharmacies.   
No prices either until the assistant looks at computer when you are ready to purchase 🤨  Many are cheaper than in Ireland though.  

For the flu,  😷  get some lovely Spanish lemons and honey,

add dissolvable paracetamol,  and you have a great lemsip alternative.

Regardless of your views re availability - and whether or not i agree with them - this is Spain and those are the rules!

Not sure if I would trust shops like Home Bargains for medication or medical products, better to consult a Doctor or Farmacia, your health is more important than saving a few Centimos De Euro.
