What Is The Best Replacement For Maxidone 7/750 Mg Taken For Hip And Back Pain?

Are they still making Maxidone 7/750 mg? My provider says they are not making it any more this is the only pill that helps with my sever pain of my hips and back Born with no hip sockets had 8 total hip replacement on left side and 5 so far on my right. They tried to give me Hydroncordone 2 of 5/325 mg. Made my heart race and not feel well. I told them their is something different in Maxidone that makes me feel like doing things and takes away the pain. No side effects. If they will give me the Maxidone anymore I was wondering if you have any other pills that perform as well as Maxidone 7/750 mg?

Orthopaedic Surgeon, Joint Replacement,  's  Response
Maxicodone has hydrocodone which is a opium derivative and that is why once patient take it for long time, he did not like any other pain killer. You can say it is sort of habit forming drug. My advice to you is you can use tramadol and acetaminophen combination. I hope it will work for you. If your doctor can prescribe you morphine for some time this will also have same feeling like hydrocodone but it is also habit forming so should be used when pain is very severe.
