pain
"I had bi-lateral ankle surgery in March and was put on Demerol, which at the time helped. Was given Vicodin for break through pain. Found out I was allergic to the anchor that was put in so had a second surgery in July. This time again given Demerol and Vicodin but did NOT help. Ended up in hospital with shots of Dilaudid. Doctor then gave me Percocets for breakthrough pain and it worked wonders! I could sit in my recliner and not just cry in pain. Now I'm back in a cast having more ankle issues (same ankle) and the doctor put me on icodins at first but at last visit since pain was still high and blood pressure was up (I usually run very low) he prescribed me Percocet 5/325. They are life savers! The pain went from 10 to 4 tops!"
