How Can Osteoarthritis Be Treated?

My name is Susan. I take hydrocodone/acetaminophen 750/325 and have osteoarthritis of spine along with a number of other problems that have basically disabled my body. I was taking a peach/pink pill which I was told was Qualitest. I went to Walmart and got another pill. And then I went back to the first place that was filling my prescriptions and got the pink/peach pill because that seemed to agree more with my system. I just wanted to know what that pill is called so I can ask my primary to request that for me. I believe it was a generic form. When he wrote for Norco in the beginning that is the pill I received.
