okay question number 2 THIS IS IMPORTANT:
i did have the hydromorphones for my post op, but i have avascular necrosis which is known to be painful and progress over time until i need a total joint replacement, I want to get to oxycodone and then in a month or so complain and get back to hydromorphones.
[snip]i really do have pain, but i'm not the best advocate for myself, but i figure if i have to suffer why can't i get the best stuff they've got anyway ya know? i don't want to appear too anxious to get the hydromorphones again, but that is my goal, but what i don't want them to do is double my dose to 4 to hydrocodone 5/325... like basically would it backfire if i asked them if it was safe to increase the dose from two tablets? i'm thinking b/c of the tylenol it will not be safe to increase the dose on the hydrocodone 5/325 (norco).. and they'll be forced to give me something better. what do you guys think? i mean eventually i'll be able to get back to hydromorphones just prior to the hip replacement, but i wanna get there sooner rather than later obviously.
