Kathi,

The only meds I am taking currently is Tramadl/APAP (Ultracet) and it doesn't help much, to be honest. I went from sleeping 3 hours a night to 4 hours a night after I started taking the Tramadl. My OS took me off the Percocet since I had been on it so long and expressed my wishes to go off all drugs so that I could pass a drug test in order to become employable again. Little did I know that I would be experiencing these same pains as I had before the surgery.

I'm scheduled to get an ESI in the facet joints on thurs and I am dreading it after that last injection I had back in March! I'm so tired of being poked, prodded, cut, and stuck with needles...but on the same note, when the pain increases to the level its at right now while typing this, then I become brave and am willing to try it almost anything. Pain is a great motivator...lol

You never did say what pains/symptoms you were having with your C3/4 that made you decide to get them fused. Care to share???....lol

Kathi, I'm clueless about Norco...never heard of it, let alone taken it.

Best wishes,

Kim
