Neuropathy
multiple strokes
2 Heart Accacks
Degenerative bone disease
Started with Hydrocodone 1 tab per 6 hours... started making me woozy, I cut it in half and was only able to take one half per day
Acetaminophen #3, no relief
Oxycodone/APAP 10/325 the latest course for pain relief... the best it might do is take 'the edge' off.
Any suggestions for better pain management?

Im confused. I cant see it possible that 5mg of Hydrocodone makes you woozy but then 10mg of Oxycodone which is a good bit stronger medicine mg for mg, only takes the edge off but doesnt make you woozy. If a 5mg Hydrocodone is too much then 10mg of Oxycodone should have you throwing up from overdose. Your best advise is listen to your doctor but Id say if the Hydrocodone works, stick with it
Lookforanswers;
First let me point out I am not a Dr. I did quite a bit of research,and my hubby is also a heart patient. As far as I am concerned, Tramadol (Ultram) seems to be the safest way to go with your medical history. For moderate pain 50 mg.should do, 100mg. for severe pain. All I ask is that you please consult your Dr. about this and the dosage, and NO alcohol when taking this. My best to you and keep us updated. Julie
