Hi,I am Dr. Gopal Goel (Orthopaedic Surgeon). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
Arthritis, Severe Fibromyalgia, Disability. On Pain Medication, Codeine Or Hydrocodone. Am I Allergic?
What Pain Medications Without Codeine Or Hydrocodone are there by prescription? I am on disability for severe fibromyalgia and arthritis in most of my joints. I am on lyrica which helps a little and I was on Norco but started getting hive all over. They quit when I was taken off of it. I am not sure if I am allergic to codeine.
Hello. Thanks for writing to us. If you have developed hives after taking Norco, then an allergic reaction is likely. You can take non opioid analgesics after consulting a pain specialist. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
