Is Hydrocodone Dosage The Right Medicine For Neurological Problems?

yes i have had neurological problems for several years I have been on hydrocodone for several years, and it seems they are not helping as much as they did. My problems have gotten worse in the last year.Sometimes i can hardly walk from my sciatic nerve in left leg.

General Surgeon 's  Response
Resepcted user, hi sorry to hear about your issue.
*As you must be knowing hydrocodone is a semi-synthetic opioid synthesized
from codeine, one of the opioid alkaloids found in opium poppy.
*Currently now it`s not helping much has various reasons :
- body`s acceptance to certain dose levels , diminishing its intensity of pain
relief.
- progress of neurological ailments .
- concurrent use of alcohol / smoking / other anti-depressent or CNS
affecting molecules .
- decreased pain threshold of the body with increasing age / generalised
debility.
@ Conclusion : Hydrocodone is right medicine for you along with which you
have to take certain extra measures for better relief :
- avoid smoking / alcohol / any abuse substances if used.
- have adequate sound sleep of 8 hours.
- do regular exercises at home including YOGA.
- try to remain ambulatory till possible.
- avoid excess use of pain killers ultimately going to damage your kidneys
on long term basis.
- try to accept certain limitations of body as many neurologies are
irreversible & untreatable unfortunately.
- try to divert your mind in your liked activities more.
- concurrent use of other molecules should be strictly under guidance of
your neurologist only.
- maintain your hydration , BP , Blood sugar & Cholesterol levels in control
- maintain your weight.
- have diet rich in protein , iron , vitamins , minerals, anti-oxidants to
boost up your immunity.
Hope this clears your query.
