Anyone here ever have any experience with a facet joint injection? My pain management doctor is pushing one very hard, but I have my reservations. ## What specific issues are you worried about? And what will it contain? Can you please post back and clarify? The FDA lists the typical side effects as possibly including administration site irritation, redness, itching, nausea, and headache. ## I am on my way to get my facet joint injecton. Anybody interested in my experience, let me know. ## It's fine. I had my reservations too. In fact I had canceled my first appointment that I made. But I just had mine done about 7 hours ago. It's quick. It's virtually painless and there's no after pain. At least not in my case. And I consider myself to have a fairly low threshold of pain...

My urine test showed morphine but I only take what I am prescribed. Wondered if the 10 mg Ir oxymorphone Roxane have some type of a morphine filler. ## It's actually oxycodone and morphine mix so yes morphine will show up. I am taking same meds that exact how mine shows up on drug test in Dr office. ## Thats completely wrong. Oxymorphone is a morphine molecule that has three of its hydrogen atoms replaced with oxygen. Oxycodone is a codeine molecule that has the same hydrogen replaced with oxygen. The oxygen has a higher electronegativity and therefore a higher binding affinity to mu opiate receptors in the brain. Oxymorphone will not show up as morphine as its metabolic pathway is different. The red lines on the side of the drug test cup will test positive for opiates, but when the...

pink on one end and clear on the other has pink powder inside that makes the other side look a lighter pink ## It could be some kind of hydrocodone or pain relief pill. ## I found a small clear pill with pink on the inside. Is it an anabolic steroid? ## Hello, I hope this message finds you having a wonderful day. Let's start by saying that at least we can rule out the possibility of the pill being a legally regulated drug because one of the FDA requirements is having a legible imprint that they can use to identify the pill. In most cases when people tell me they have found a capsule with no imprint it sounds more like a vitamin or supplement as those are not regulated by the FDA and can come in any shape color and size with no imprint. In fact companies can re brand and change a pil...

U.S. Senate has succumbed/conspired with health providers to practically eliminate severe or chronic pain med for the elderly. Some 16,800 deaths of young drug mixing punks & the cost of providing these meds; has caused the low level intelligence & greedy health providers to furiously lobby (bribe) the U. S. Senate to order a 40% decrease in severe/chronic meds for the elderly; not for young drug mixing "punks" because they will mix something else. It has been shown that the Senate members have been drunk or half drunk in decisions like this. Proof of the aforesaid? here it is: the Senate ignores 1.6 millions of deaths & or severe mutilations due to alcohol. Senators have never done heavy strenuous work that by the time you are 65/70 years old, everything hurts to a ...

I need to know how many days a percocet, roxicodone or oxycodone stay in ur system for a urine test? ## Most narcotics will clear out of your system within 24 hours, however, it can vary some, depending on how much you have been taking and for how long of a time period. If you have a prescription for the medication, then just make certain that you inform them of that, when you go in for testing. All 3 of the medications you mention contain the same narcotic, Oxycodone, which will show up as an opiate on drug tests. Learn more: Are there any comments or questions? ## I would give it 72 hours to be on the safe side. Everybody metabolizes things at a different pace. ## I have been on percocet for a few yrs for a neck problem and my dr has switched me to the 10mg OP's i have to do a uri...

watson white pill ## Do you happen to know the shape of this pill imprinted M 337? The closest matches (imprints) I've seen are M 357 and M 367, but no M 337. The M 357 and M 367 are indicative of Acetaminophen + Hydrocodone bitartrate by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals. Both are white "oblong" (capsule-shaped) pills with the M3XX imprint on one side and scored on the back. M 357 Imprint: 325mgs of Acetaminophen + 5mgs of Hydrocodone bitartrate NDC: 60429-509 / 0406-0357 M 367 Imprint: 325mgs of Acetaminophen + 10mgs of Hydrocodone bitartrate NDC: 0406-0367 Please post back if you have more information to add.

My Rx bottle says Hydrocodone 7.5/500. The pill is a white oblong scored pill with V on one side and 35 95 on the other side. Is that the correct medication that my bottle indicates? ## That is the correct medication, but not the correct dosage on the Acetaminophen, this tablet actually contains 650mgs of it, rather than the 500mgs that you say it has on your bottle, however, the dosage of the Hydrocodone is correct at 7.5mgs. This is a narcotic pain reliever, the generic for Vicodin. Common side effects may include: nausea, drowsiness, dizziness and dry mouth.

Hello. I have searched the web and can't seem to find a problem like mine while coming off tramadol. I have horrible stomach burning and pain that extends down both sides of my rib cage. It happened once before when I was coming off tramadol and you think I would have learned to stay away from this poison. Has anyone else had pain and terrible burning down both sides of their rib cage when coming off tramadol? This is day 2 for me. I am hoping it goes away soon ## I think it's safe to say that Tramadol withdrawal symptoms can be quite similar to the side effects of those who are still taking the drug. According to the mayo clinic, severe abdominal or stomach pain is reported to be a normal, but serious side effect of Tramadol (that should be reported to your doctor). I don't...

I have to find a new pain mgmt Dr asap, my last pain mgmt group stopped taking my insurance last month. Any info on pain mgmt drs in nashville (smyrna, murfreesboro, etc...) or the surrounding cities that will keep me on my current meds? It's taken a year to find the right combo, to control my pain and let me live a semi-normal life. And I know many drs are scared to write for the oxymorphone hcl er. Thank you! I really appreciate any help! ## Have you found a good pain mgmt in the Nashville area? My current ofc (C.P.S.) just notified me of their closing. They gave me 1 extra month of scripts but no referral or idea of where to go. I currently am on 160mme. Can anyone recommend a pain management doctor in mid-Tennessee? Any help is much appreciated.

People from all over several local northern states, have been coming down to florida to get oxycodone, because their local doctors in their state do not think they need it. So they come to florida and jam up our local doctor offices and our local pharmacies, and we Floridians have to wait on them. Not any more, those drug seekers will have to learn to take aspirin or tylenol for their fake pain. After a few months those guys will learn to use the pharmacy in your own town and state. Oh and you drug seekers that are seeing this for the first time, stock up on toilet paper, your about to go through withdrawals. And it ain't gonna be fun! ## How's that supposed to help us folks from FL? ## Not that I'm fond of drug seekers. But as I'm reading here I am seeing that some of p...

I took 2 hydrocodones 3 weeks before I took a hair follicle test this past Monday. I am aware that this shows a 90 day time period on the test. My question is whether this will show up on a standard 5 panel hair test, or whether the additional extended opiates test is necessary for detection? ## Did you pass? ## I take methadone and have prescription for it,and I take it just like it's prescribed but I remembered that hydrocodone use to help me with sex so I thought since my methadone dose is so low 25mg a day that if I took hydrocodone it might help me out with sex so I took 7 of my wife's Norco's all the same day about a month ago ,it didn't help ,but now I have a hair follicle test coming up in about a week so it'll be like 4 to 6 weeks since I took them, so if I ...

white oblong pill - was told it was vicodin ## That is incorrect, this tablet is not Vicodin, nor any type of narcotic. This tablet contains 800mgs of Ibuprofen, a generic for prescription strength Motrin, a nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory. Do you have any other questions? ## Incorrect Verwon, even in the reply thread you posted the pill description and picture does not match. The correct match to IP466 is Carisoprodol, commonly referred to as Soma. I have this prescription at the highest level dose ( 350MG [comes in either 250or360] ). And I quote from the label This is a muscle relaxant. May cause Drowsiness. Alcohol can intensify this effect. Avoid alcohol/use caution when operating a car or heavy machinery. ## Sorry Sun - Verwon is actually correct. IP 466 is Ibuprofen 800 mg manfuac...

Don't accept generic oxycodone 30mg oval blue pill with #224 imprint, they don't relieve pain like the oval blue oxycodone 30mg pills with a M imprint. ## Hello! I am very sorry that these tablets didn't work for you. However, I wonder if you may be incorrectly remembering what you've previously taken? The M logo is used by Mallinckrodt Pharmaceuticals and they do not have any oval Oxycodone tablets on the U.S. market. Is it possible that you were taking something different? ## Sorry I also meant to say that it has nothing to do with her building up a tolerance because she had a couple non caraco's left over from her last prescription and they worked perfectly fine. ## the first half of my post didn't get posted for some reason but what I said was that my girlfri...
