While researching proteinuria, I learned opiate's and their derivitives, which includes hydrocodone, can lead to proteinuria. Because the protein level in my urine isn't that high, I am now wondering if the hydrocodone may have contributed to the problem. The only way to find out is to go off hydrocodone, but I can't function without a pain med of equal effectiveness. Does anyone have any recommendations for meds I could try in place of hydrocodone? Ultram, Ultracet, Darvocet and prescription NSAIDS have been ruled out already by trial and error. Any ideas would be much appreciated.
