Can Hydrocodone Be Taken For Severe Pain In The Lower Back And Hips?

Wow, never expected such a fast response. Thank you for answering my question. I am a 73 year old female with serious spinal stenosis. I have had a lower lumbar fusion (20 years ago) and a cervical fusion six months ago. Just recently found out that my lower lumbar is showing some collapsing disc below the old fusion. I am having some neuropathy issues in both legs/feet and arms/hands. I was awakened a few hours after I had gone to bed with the most horrific upper leg cramps in both thighs that I have ever had. It took almost ten to fifteen minutes to get them under control. After having gotten the leg cramps under control with Hyland s Leg Cramp supplement and some raw apple cider vinegr with ginger and cayanne, My muscles were so sore that I took a Skalaxen to relax the muscles in my body..Now I am experience lots of pain in my low back and both hip joints. I have some hydrocodone 5-325 left over frm my cervical surgery. It has been several hours since I took the Skalaxen. Can I take one Hydrocodone to help with the severe pain I am experiencing in my low back and hips without any contraindications with the skalaxen

Hello,

Sorry to hear of your severe pain. Oxycodone, you can take it for the pain. There is no problem with it, and you can use it with Relaxin.
However, as a potent opioid, care should be taken.
And while the pain may be at the moment relieved with Oxycodone, you should go to a neurosurgeon for proper management.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
