Opana Er And Vicoden

Hello, I am 32 yrs old and have been on opana er 2 daily with an average of 5 vicoden daily for breakthrough pain management for 2 years now. I have the option of undergoing back surgery but no one is very optomistic that it will provide satisfactory pain relief. I am not big on taking pills but they do provide adequate relief. I am concerned about long term organ damage due to the medication since I have my whole life ahead of me. My grandfather was perscibed morphine for his cancer and experienced severe organ damage within a couple of years so I am concerned about taking drugs for rest of my life, especially since what I have read indicates that tolerances will build and doses will inevitably increase with time. Thanks everybody for your time, Ken.

There is always the risk of organ damage with medications, because most are processed by the liver, however, there is no way to say whether or not it will happen to any certain person that uses them. Your grandfather may have experienced it from the Morphine, cancer medications and/or a combination of all 3.

What you really have to watch is the Acetaminophen in the Vicodin, since you take that many in a day. Long-term use of it is well known to cause liver damage, or liver failure.
