I went to my dr. today and told him the lortabs were not helping me and I also took my drug book that insurance covers. He wanted to put me on a new one called Nucynta 100 but insurance did not cover it so he prescribed morphine sulfate two per day. It kind of scares me it just sounds strong b/c I have had it in hospital. Anyway the drugstore had to order it - not a store in Birmingham had it. No one takes it or what.
Hopefully, I will get it Friday.

Snake, why do you think I am a complainer? dr. had me on 6 lortabs and it did not touch the pain. So I told him that so maybe he thought ER med would help and after 3 days it is helping. I just knew Angie knew all about the drug. i know one thing, I have to go to store to get something for const. Any recommendations.

hey brenda, i glad i can help. I dont seem you a complainer b/c where is anyone usppose to go to talk if you dr not aval. that what this site all about .

get support and beable to to talk to people when you down and out..
is it finlay working??? I have been on percocets and vicodon and they dont work plus i allergic to them having itching and rashes. like i do on codeine that i cant take.

so that why they try ms and i have little itching but not as bad. and when i had my suregey they gave me tramadol and it made me sleepy but not much for pain. but maybe 50 mgs a low dose dont know.

to the perosn who said they dont write perocets well in my small town hospital and drs in this area of ohio does that all they prescribe it that or vicodin... so i not sure where your from but they do it here.

they dont prescribe anythng stronger, i here alot of differnt pain meds and i never heard of them or they dr said that too strong.

like in a differnt city, and had to go to ER and the dr there gave me dilude how ever you spell it and it work, then the dr here said that to strong of meds. so it hard to find good drs. and the pain mg i have he worthlyess he only give ya like neurotin or the older anti depress.

i limited on insurnace right now.

oh well brenda i hope you days getting better.. huggs ang

i have some relief on mobic but, it doesnt take it all away. My dr. wants to do more shots but, i say no. they have never help. Ive had nerve Blocks, epidurale, and trigger shots. None of them helped. I still have the pains and like electricity going down my right hip and leg. Does anyone else have that?

PreciousBama 12/01/2009
