I have been taking hydrocodone for about a year. I currently take 4 7.5 a day. I have several issues most pressing I have to have an invasive redo carpal tunnel surgery and normal one on the other hand. I have to have back surgery for 3 discs. I also have spondylosis in my neck which needs surgery also. I was put on a pain patch for about three weeks which did not want to stay on. I am in major pain and nothing seems to help. I don't know if these pain pills or patch's strengths need to be more. my pharmacist has been so hard on me. I almost feel like a druggy. Very hard to deal with. I would like to wean off and an also on Ambien and phendometrozine for nerve pain and Cymbalta. I dont' want to take any of these. I just don't want to end up like I was before taking them if not worse. The hydro doesn't really help me much. I am just over not being able to use my hands and arms much and when I do the pain is very severe. I would appreciate your prayers and any advice you are led to give. Thanks so much!!!!
