Pain
"When I first went to PM he took me off my 6 x 10mg hydrocodone/day.  I have had triple fusion in my neck, multiple knee surgeries, arthritis, migraines chronic kidney stones so I stay in chronic pain. I was terrified to go off hydros, that has been my only source of pain relief. Well. The 100mg ER. Didn&#039;t work so I had withdrawal from hydrocodone and then the pain was horrible.  I went back to the PM And he upped my dose to 150mg ER. Twice a day, and 75mg. Once a day for breakthrough pain. It was like magic. It was wonderful.  As long as I don&#039;t over exert myself I rarely need the breakthrough medicine. It is great pain medicine once you get the right dose."
