Hello. Thanks for writing to us. The pain that you have is related to arthritis and neuropathy that you are having. Percocet is less potent analgesic when compared to morphine and has a lesser addicting potential too. Do try to switch over as your physician has suggested. I hope this information has been both informative and helpful for you. Regards, Dr. Praveen Tayal , drtayal72@gmail.com
