Do you know what else gets prescribed for breakthrough pain besides hydrocodone? That's what I'm taking for it, but even when I take like 3 it just doesn't seem to do the job. Any thoughts?...
Well, I finally made it to my appointment. I took a urine test, I'm guessing to make sure I don't have anything besides my prescribed meds in my system. I was asked a million questions regarding my...
Hey, everyone! I've got my first appointment with a pain management specialist here in a few weeks and I was wondering what I should expect. I've been taking 5mg hydrocodone that my PCP prescribed...

Hey, all! I'm a newbie around here with a few concerns. I was "diagnosed" with SLE last month and immediately started on Meloxicam 15mg. On my follow-up appointment, I was started on Plaquenil 200mg...
