Question: I am in a lot of pain. I am supposed to get a new hip but the operation was delayed because of infection in my teeth. I was hoping to get a stronger pain reliever.

No prescriptions.

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for posting your query.
In addition to hydrocodone that you are already taking you can add a mild pain killer available over the counter like ibuprofen every 6 hourly. Taking rest and doing a hot fomentation is also a good pain relieving measure.
You can also take a muscle relaxant like Cataflam for relief. Stronger pain medications need a prescription. Online prescriptions are not allowed.
I hope this answers your query.
In case you have additional questions or doubts, you can forward them to me, and I shall be glad to help you out.
Wishing you good health.
Regards.
Dr. Praveen Tayal.
