I was on norco for about 15 years. My doctor told me my pain clinic needs to take over my meds. My pain doctor put me on percocet 10 mg. 3 X a day. 8 hours between pills. It doesn't last that long. I don't know if he will increase it.

I have been on Percocet for about 5 months I am finding it is doing nothing anymore. I have also been having a hard time breathing I have to tell myself to try and calm down and try and take deep breaths not sure if this is a side affect from it does anyone else have this problem? I am also on 4 other meds but didn't have this problem with anything of my others could this just be a mixture of everything all together?

Pancreatitis pain

I have lower back pain for years. Now I have Sciatica along with everything else. I have gone to Neurologists, Ortho guys, my Primary, a Chiro and a few others, and mostly the only thing offered to me is Drugs. I can have "anything I want" from Asprin to Percoset. I dont want any of it. I want to find a treatment or cure that I can actually live with. PT doesnt work for me bevause it only brings on more pain. I'm 71, I'd like to enjoy the years I have left.

I take alprazalam for anxiety and they won't prescribe percoset with alprazalam because of early deaths. I don't get high from percoset, it just relives pain. I tried duceline and had really bad diaherra, then they put me on gabapentin and it doesn't help, makes it work. What else can I try

She said I can continue to use my Percocet (7.5-325 mg) for breakthrough pain. Currently I take 4 pills a day as well as 600 mgs of Neurontin 3x’s a day. I’m hoping to cut down my Percocet dosage as soon as I can. I don’t want to OD or anything. Makes me very nervous starting new meds. Also, I assume the patch will be fine if I have a hot flash? I know heat is a factor with them. Can I also use one of those clear bandages that go over patches (I used them when I had hormone patches)? Thank… read more

My hip, butt and leg have been hurting now for three years. Have had 3 epidural and don't want another. Just want something that will.make me feel normal again. Doctor have recommend that I have a fourth epidural. It doesn't appeal to me. So now I just want some ointment and pain pillows. So other then this what is out there beside surgery?

For the past 12 years I have suffered from neuropathy in my legs and have been taking Lyrica for pain.
Recently the pain has worsened so my doctor prescribed Magnesium.
Has anyone else taken Magnesium for pain and has it worked?

My doctor quoted some CDC report that was intended as a guideline for general practitioners that said no chronic pain patient should be prescribed more then 90mmg of morphine equalivent for chronic pain patients irregardless of pain levels or time on opioids. The DEA jumped all over this reccomdation and is using it to force pain doctors to drasticly cut medications, leaving millions of us in dire pain without help or hope.
