Begining Pain Management With 15mg Mscontin With Tylenol #4's For Breakthrough Pain

Iam a 65yo male with osteogenisis imperfecta,scoliosis,osteoarthritis,IBS,hypertension etc. I had both knees replaced 22 years ago. Recently an increase in pain in L hip prompted my PC Doc to do the mscontin thing. I was already on the 60mg's codeine 3 times a day. This has been great,finally i can walk around pretty much pain free most of the day. I just wondering about all that tyelnol, because its been about 30 or 40 years taking tyelnol and I'm worried about my liver. What else would be good.for BTP. I dont see my doc for another three weeks and I would just like to get some input.

Hello, Rickey! How are you?

There are other options you can use for breakthrough pain that don't have Acetaminophen/Tylenol in them, such as a regular release Morphine or Oxycodone. You may want to discuss such options with your doctor to take a break from the Acetaminophen.

This is 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.

Is there anything else I can help with?
