Suggest Dosage Of Hydrocordone 325 Mg For Painful Wrist
I broke my metacarpel bone from my wrist about 9 days ago. I was not offered any pain meds and it is more painfull now than when i broke it. I have been taking hydrocordone 325 mg for my arm which was origanally perscribed for my knee which i am having surgery for next month. After 4 of these a day I am still in constant discomfort at sleep and at work. Would you percribe a higher dosage? if you was my doc ofcoarse.

Dear patient
For metacarpal fracture only pain medication will not help , it also needs to be protected in splint for 4 weeks. Once it is splinted you will not require any pain medication. You need to consult expert orthopaedic surgeon in your area and get yourself examined. Cock up slab is to be given for 4 weeks. If you will continue to take pain medication without splint it is not going to help. All the best.
