What Are The Adverse Effects Of Taking Hydrocodone For A Long Duration?
my husband takes hydrocodone approximately every 5-6 hrs. per day to alleviate pain from multiple myeloma. He sleeps approx. 20hrs a day--mostly during the day.. and takes the medication for pain relief of the shoulders, legs and general body aches. My question is---what are the long term affects of taking this medication?? Thank you.
For severe lower back pain you can take some pain killer like biozobid-plus or zerodol-sp only when the pain is worse enough or disturbing your daily routine along with some calcium supplements like shalcal-d or toscal-gem once daily. Take some multivitamin like supradyn or neurobian-plus once daily. Do some physiotherapy exercises after an expert opinion of physiotherapist. I will also advice you to sleep on a plain surface.
