Norco Is It Working

Taking generic brand of Norco 5-325. Had surgery on foot for bone spur. Works ok when awake. have a little pain at the surgery site. But after 60-90 minutes of sleep I wake up in lots of pain. Once I wake up and move around a little the pain goes away. Sleeping and awake I elevate my foot. So is the painkiller working at all?

Hello, Liz! How are you doing? I'm very sorry about the problem you're having.

Do you think it's possible that you're having nighttime foot cramps? Or possibly moving that foot and flexing it a lot, as you enter deep sleep?

Since you're not having severe pain at other times, you may be experiencing breakthrough pain, at night, that goes beyond what the Norco can control.

The FDA classifies this medication as being a narcotic analgesic, so it has the potential to be habit forming and may cause side effects, such as nausea, dizziness, drowsiness, dry mouth and constipation.

Have you contacted your doctor? You may need the dosage changed, at night, to get better control of this.

Talked to my doctor about the pain and she told me to quit elevating my foot. She said rarely but sometime it cause pain. I followed her instructions and the pain did not come back.
