Liver Safe Pain Medication For Arthritis And Neuropathy
Updated
Laura Says:
I have arthritis in almost every joint in my body. I have narrowing of the vertebrae, leg and feet neuropathy, knees are bone on bone. Plus other medical conditions. I take Norco 5/325 (3 times a day). What medicine do you think I should be taking? I can't take Aspirin because I have cirrhosis of the liver and Hepatitis B. Any suggestions?

Norco is an effective analgesic that is often prescribed to treat conditions that cause pain, such as those you've mentioned.
How is your current dose working for you?
The FDA does warn that Norco carries the risk of being habit forming, and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, dry mouth, and constipation.
Ref: Norco Information
If it isn't handling your pain, then you should speak to your doctor, as you may need a dosage adjustment, or to try a different medication.
There is no one size fits all, when it comes to medications, we are all different, so you may have to try more than one, or different dosages, to see what helps you the most, without causing unwanted side effects.
