What Causes Hiccups After Spinal Fusion?
My husband had spinal fusion on monday. He is taking Robaxin, and Vicodin and has had hiccups frequently every day. He also had them while on the Dilaudid PCA, and Ketamine infusion but they persisted after those two IV meds where stopped. Could it be the robaxin and/or vicodin?

Hi, I had gone through your question and understand your concerns. Both those two drugs can cause hiccups. If hiccups don't stop and are getting a problem, those drugs can be replaced one by one to identify wich one caused hiccups. Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
