Hello!
Thank you for the query.
Oxycodone is 1,5-2x stronger than Hydrocodone (10 mg of Oxycodone is equal about 15 mg of Hydrocodone). Both are with 325 mg of Paracetamol. Both have the same mechanism of action, the difference is only in the capability of binding with opioids receptors. It will appear in the same way in urine analysis.
It should be helpful with post-surgery pain as well as with other neuromuscular pains.
However, you should also add some non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drug like Diclophenac 50 mg twice a day(should be used with Omeprasole 20 mg once a day) which also has anti-inflammatory effect.
Hope this will help. Feel free to ask further questions.
Regards.
