Ms Contin Vs Lortab 10/325

I have cronic pain do to back and neck surgery Fusions C4-5, L3-4, 4-5, after surgery bad car accident resulted in herniated disc @L5-S1 also broken femer & something torn in my shoulder. I have been taking Hydrocodone 10/325 4 times a day along with muscle relaxers, antiinflamatories, and Gabapentin for nerve pain. this cocktail was working well. was just refered to a pain managment clinic and was put on MS Contin cr 15 mg was told to take 1 tab every 12 HRs it is supposed to be the same as taking the 10/325 4 times a day my phamacist was confused as to why doctor did not also gige some thing for breakout ? breakthrough? pain. anyway this stuff does not seem to be working does it take a while to build up.

i agree with helpful, the lyrica iis awesome on nerve pain. I take 10mg of methadone, 15mg of oxycodene, and 150mg of lyrica. 3-4 times a day and I am able to work. (i have been taking for many years tho. If I had to let 1 go back it definately would be the 15mg of oxycodene. i finally started getting all over pain relief with the lyrica

I took Lyrica for nerve pain for 2 years and then it turned on me and caused kidney damage and agitated me tremendously. Stopping Lyrica is Hell ! For a week I felt like I was literally on fire 24/7! Now I am stage 3 kidney failure. I know majority of people tried it to no avail. Now on narcotics, good luck, I am scared of it andneurotin I believe they both cause cancer, in my case renal carcinoma
