What dosage are they planning on prescribing? You might need a bit of a higher dosage to help you for a longer period of time.

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.

Generally, as your injuries start to heal, you should need less and less of the pain medication.

How are you doing, now? Has there been any change?
