Why Is Hydrocodone 5-325 Taken After A Toe Fracture?

Hi. I went to an urgent care clinic nonight tonight after I I accidentaly dropprred a lage gleass bottle of olive oil oil on my foot while unpacking groceries. The pain was extremely intentsene; it was bruised; it was swollen; I had difficulculty walkindinking. The x- ray whoed a fractured laged toe. The doctoc taaaaked it and advised me to stay off it. I was given an rx for hydrodordone 5-325, and told to follow up with a podiatrist. What is this medication? Does this treatment sound reasonable? Thank you. YYYY@YYYY

Orthopaedic Surgeon 's  Response
Dear Sir/Madam
I have gone through your query and read your symptoms.
the drug you are taking is an opoid, and is relatively a strong pain killer. the treatment can only be said to be reasonable if you have any relief form this.
as far as drug goes, its not a gastric irritant, but opoid side effects do occur, although no as strong as morphene
I hope that answers your query. If you want any more clarification, contact me back.
I find this answer helpful
