hi hello i was wondering if you could help me im very young 19 years old and have had one csection and with that came an epidural ever since i had the epidural about two years ago ive had severe back pain to the point where it effects my daily life my pcp had tried me on vicodin 10mg, tramadol 50mg. and also.flexerol (sp) 10mg in a matter of months and none of it was working for me i recently went to the e.r. for tooth pain and they gave me a medication called percocet and not only did it make my tooth pain go away it also helped my back so much that the pain was bareable however my pcp refuses to even think about writing me a prescription and i understand why to a point but its the only medicine ive tried that helped my back please help! whats your opinion is my doctor being resonable?
hi perocet may produce dependency in long run so doctors prefer to give short courses in severe pain.Also that so many pain medicines other than narcotic analgesics are avalable, doctors prefer to prescribe non-habit/dependency causing other pain meds. Anyway you may discuss for short course of perocet with your doctor and request again if severe pain best wishes,
