" First off. It's outrageous that your first visit is with a PA and not the doctor. Not good. Find another pain doctor that is more caring.

Second 7.5? and only 1 a day??? Good grief! I take Norco which is 10 and can take up to 6 a day.

I really think you found a lousy clinic. I would find a new pain clinic. "

" YES!!! You dont deserve to be in pain. There are many many different pain medication you can take. One Lortab is only good for about 4 or 5 hours and then it wears off. This PA must have never been in pain. I have moderate pain and I take Neurotin and Norco 7.5 3x a day. You need more pain meds and if he wont give it to you then see someone who will. NEVER allow them to keep you in pain. Hope you will get some relief soon. "
