hi , my name is Chad . Last year i dislocated both of my shoulders and now i take pain medicine . i see a pain doctor and he prescribed perkaset my new doctor says that she cant perscribe perkiset but she can perscribe hydrocodone but she says that it isnt as strong as perkaset but kind of dosage of hydrocodone would be an equal in relief on the same level of a strong perkaset . by the way , i have checked myself into a personal care home because the pain was so bad that i needed to be placed in a home to help assist me to take baths and clean my room
