Tramadol And Norco

I have been on norco 7.5 for two years now. I have severe arthritis in both knees. I take one right before I go to work. I stock shelves at night, at a supermarket. It helps me get through my shift. My doctor retired; and now I have a new doctor. He has me on 50 mg on Tramadol. It's not the same. I'm in more pain now, then I was before. The drug isn't working the same. I have not abused hydrocodone. What do I need to do to convince my new doctor, that Norco is working, and I'm not abusing the pain medication? Any new ideas? please help.

Hi John,

I always say honesty is the best approach and speak from the heart, but whether or not the doctor accepts your message as truth is something that's out of everyone else's control and therefore I don't think it's worth worrying about something that you have no control over. That said, I think you should say what you must to your doctor, but also be detached from the outcome and know that whatever happens there's always other doctors to choose from.

On a side note, have you ever thought about trying kratom for pain management? I've seen a lot of comments here with people discussing how it has similar effects to opioids in so far as pain relief is concerned. Different strains have unique properties and can affect each person differently as well, but it may be worth researching if you can't get Norco.

Hope this helps!
