hey everyone, i have been on lortab 10 mg for eight years. i take one every four hours.....they are pretty much useless now. i asked my pcp for something for break through and he said i have something the lortab and then he said the more i take the more i'll need, how do i get him to understand the awful pain that i am in and if i were going to abuse pain meds i have had plenty of time.... i value your oppions as the last post i got great advice. thank you guys billie:sad:

Perhaps the right thing to do to convince your Dr would be to ask him to refer you to a pain management clinic.

They will be better equipped to address the cronic pain than many Dr's are.

I am sorry that I can't offer anything mre.

Ditto what Sam said, get into a pain management doctor.

Hope you get some relief soon.:wink2:

Hi Billi, maybe he thinks you want another pill in addition to the one that you are on.
You could ask him that since the lortab is wearing out now, can he put you on
new meds, one for the everyday pain, so that you can move around the house, and something for the breakthru flares. I'm sorry, but that is all I can think of right now. Do let us know how it goes.
