I Have A Question About Pain Patches

Updated

I have Ishcemia and Bergers disease.So far I had parts of 2 fingers amputated.I have chronic nerve pain in my hands and feet when it gets cold or damp and have to avoid air conditioning so life can be hell sometimes.I am taking 10 mg. of hydrocodone twice a day so I take the second one at bedtime.These only work for 2-3 hrs.Do these drug companies have long term hydrocodone pacthes because I have to live with the pain between doses.Thank you for any info.

Have you asked your doctor yet about trying an extended release tablet or solution containing Hydrocodone?

Hydrocodone comes as a tablet, a capsule, a syrup, a solution (clear liquid), an extended-release (long-acting) capsule, and an extended-release (long-acting) suspension (liquid) to take by mouth. The tablet, capsule, syrup, and solution are usually taken every 4-6 hours as needed. The extended-release capsule and the extended-release suspension are usually taken every 12 hours as needed.

I hope this info helps!
