    • About Me

      65-year-old male profesional with chronic arthritis in both knees. My orthopedic surgeon tells me my knees are not ready for replacement, yet, and I am able to walk and bike--but not stand-- without a great deal of discomfort. Aleve and Tylenol, combined with biking, have allowed me to keep pain under control in most situations except prolonged standing, which I often have to do for business.

      I recently was prescribed Norco while passing a kidney stone. What I found is that a half tablet of Norco allowed me to get through a reception that normal pain killers would not have. My primary care physician, however, is reluctant to prescribe any narcotic The supply of Norco I have will last me through the end of the year. I am highly dubious of buying a narcotic through an online site. Should I be?
