I have used Hydrocodone 7.5 mg for two torn up knees. I use to get a small feel good feeling but that pasted. It does a great job relieving the pain and I can function. I take three pills a day. Stuff only cost 5.31 for 30 pills so I don’t have any complaints, other than the dr told me it was addictive. I kind of already new that. It is better than having both knees cut on.
That happens when the mods force-move a thread from one forum (news) to another (bloggers). That happened to this thread because I got the same thing.
Sounds about the I heard it. Gotta get it done.
Guess I’ll feel like a new man in the end.
Yes. If something can get 90% of us out of pain, it should be banned because 10% may abuse the drug. Good thinking. Thank goodness I got through my two hip replacements before you got your way with my painkillers.
I can’t even take codeine. I’m allergic to it. So, like you, I take nothing. I’ve gone through two car accidents which have caused neck and spinal problems but the Lord has been gracious allowing me withstand the pain.

You seem confused. I suggest you consult an anatomy book.

Will an old issue of Playboy do? I seem to remember it helping with confusion before...
2 girls died in a local Truck Stop (I35) chewing on those patches. As someone mentioned earlier~a Junkie (Dope Head) will find a way to ABUSE anything!
Woodford Reserve, excellent choice. Enjoy!
And now he has hair on the back of his hands.
My grandmother,who’s in her 80’s but in good health,took one after she broke her wrists. She and my grandfather went up to Tennesee back in ‘07. They went dancing one night and she slipped and fell. Naturally she put her hands out to break her fall but wound up breaking her wrists.
She looked terrible after taking just one OxyContin. Really pale,as if she had the flu. She threw the rest out.
I used to have a friend who hung out with people who did pills. One of them would crush it and snort it. I asked her why she’d do that and she said “It’ll get you high faster”. I told her I knew that,but what I was getting at was “Why would you do that to yourself?”
Dumb,dumb,dumb.
Who are you talking about?
Banned? Really dude? Did I say that? Much to the contrary. Pure hydrocodone should be treated like Oxycodone because it is substantially the same as Oxycodone, a C2 drug. It could also be used at higher doses like Oxycodone. I also do not advocate a change a status in the current formulation of hydrocodone with Tylenol.
So good for you that had your hip replacements before they are rationed by obama.
It never ceases to amaze me why so many freepers go out of their way to distort others positions and be disagreeable. Sometimes I think why bother sharing an expert opinion. People have no respect for physicians and you sir certainly prove it. Good luck finding someone to take your Medicare.
Uh, you do know they just want the drug-right! They will still get the drug only now by slapping 3-4 patches oon themselves.
Not these patches they didn't. They are not even available in the United States yet.
Not with the patches I'm talking about. Slap 3-4 patches on they will last 3 to 4 times as long, but the blood level won't go above the designed therapeutic dose. You CAN'T get high on them. Impossible.
Because I'm grumpy too?
Everybody has a pet peeve. Gummint interference with pain relief is a biggie for a lot of folks. Before the diagnoses that led to the hip replacements, I was in the worst pain of my life and there was no relief in sight. I had to fill out a 15 page questionnaire (threatening me if I redirect the drugs) and take a drug test to get one guy to even treat me (He's the one that found the problem).
Didn't mean to distort you, but I can see that I did. Sorry... I should have realized you are an expert. Very foolish of me to think I could ever doubt you. Experts know everything. People like you are why other people are losing respect for physicians. If you were my doc I'd fire you in an instant because of your attitude. There are others to choose from...
Sorry again. You picked a bad day to poke me with a stick, “sir.”
