Have Sleep Apnea And Back Pain. Had Painful Surgery For It. Should I Take Norco?

Hello Dr. Grief, I recently had very painful surgery for sleep apnea. Jaws sawed in half. I 'm not happy to hear of Norco. I bear my back pain .I'm hopng Dr. Does not::put me on This after the pain l've been through. I only need one more and I'll be fine . I feel why not listen ,paitent prefers at 53yrs To use what's been working for years. I am speakng of short term use. I'm upset To even go. Surgery is over.It's like ok done wth you. Try this new drug, its the same & how paitent feels, who cares? Karrie Rbchaux

I can understand your pain and sorry about that, taking a norco for pain purpose when you have history of sleep apnea the norco is highly contra indicated in sleep apnea the NSAID alone will work nicely you just try it and try to tolerate the pain have nice day.
