There are many, but it's best to let your doctor suggest something. If you go in asking for a specific medication, they tend to view that as being drug seeking behavior.

Wat is a good med to be put on for this.

It is breakthrough pain, as was already mentioned to you.

The dosage might not be high enough to control all of your pain, or there may be times throughout the day where your pain is getting more severe and it's 'breaking' through the medication. Your doctor is aware that this can happen and they should be willing to help you with it.

The FDA lists 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.

Is there anything else I can help with?
