Osteoarthritis & Heart condition, alcohol & opiate abuse
My husband has had 2 heart attacks (7 stents) and chronic osteoarthritis. He abuses alcohol and takes percocets for pain. He has developed neuropathy and I believe it to be from the alcohol and opiate use. Does anyone have any suggestions for treating his osteo pain that doesn't involve opiate use or which will affect his heart meds? If given a healthier option for pain it would be easier for him to stop using the opiates.
