Could I be immuned to hydrocodone/apap
by Diane Forrest, Sep 02, 1999 12:00AM
After having 2 operations in five months on my right knee for A MENISCAL TEAR.Could i have built up an immunity to this drug? I was informed enough about this medication to only take it when the pain was intolerable.I am still having problems with my knee, but the medication doesn't seem to help the pain.What can I do???

However, the fact remains that just because one has a license, they know what they are talking about.
Hydrocodone is not to be used only when the pain is excruciating.
It is most effective when taken evry 4 to 6 hours, to prevent pain from becoming excruciating, but Dr. Butthead doesn't want and (I'm sure your prescribing physician as well) don't want to write prescriptions for narcotics because think DEA will raise an eybrow. They are a problem which is all too common in medicine today.
web! if you are in pain you are under
medicated. plan and simple.
