char1048 Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 We had to call the doctor because pain pills were not working (2 500mg every 4 hours vicodin) he gave him morphine pills to take with vicodin and that seems to be working going for an MRI today at 1 oclock and to see doctor on monday for the results praying it has not hit his spine. Thanks all will keep you posted. Charolette Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tess Posted August 12, 2004 Share Posted August 12, 2004 Vicoden won't touch his kind of pain. Doctors! They should know better, they seem to be afraid to give someone better pain meds, but why ? Ask for oxycontin at least. it will help. Then the patch if it keeps getting worse. Cancer patients should not have to deal with so much pain. tess Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
elnodel Posted August 13, 2004 Share Posted August 13, 2004 Glad to hear that the pain has lessened. Thank G_d for morphine! I agree about asking for stronger stuff when needed. Will be thinking of you on Monday. Hope the news is good. Ellen Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
