What Are The Best Pain Medications Other Than The Norco S ?

Hi Doc. My name is Cindy I have been on pain meds for many yrs. with the new Norco s they do not work at all. do not know what to ask my Dr to change me to. Cant have anything that makes me sleepy as I still try to work. He wanted to put me back on oxys but I cant pay that much money for them. I was on them for 11 yrs. but had Ins. at that time. If you could help with what you would do all I was on Hydro 10s for yrs and they worked fine all through I took 6 to 8 a day

Hi, Welcome to Health care magic forum.
As you describe, you are on pain medication since very long. While on a medicine for longer duration, it should be changed to some other drug, of another group, and after some time of using it again you can have the previous drug, and can try cyclically.
I usually prescribe to my patient with such symptoms neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days,and then periodically,calcium suppliments, and pain killers.
Avoid taking potato, other tubers,tomato,egg, chicken,and and sea foods.
Wishing for a quick and complete recovery. Thank you.
