Need Help Understanding My Medication

I went to my doctor who prescribes me percocets 10/325. He said I had opiates in my urine. Doesn't percocet 10/325 have an opiate in it? He tells me to come back next week. I'm in pain all the time as I dislocated my hip and had 5 hip replacements and slipped discs.

Yes, it contains Acetaminophen and Oxycodone, and yes, the Oxycodone is an opiate. The FDA warns that this medication carries the risk of being habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, headache, constipation and dry mouth.

Are you on any other medications? Did he give you a copy of the results?
