12 pills of tylenol is toxic!! The limit you can take is 8 pills a day. Anything past that and you're damaging your liver and risking overdosing. No doctor will prescribe more than that. Well, no good doc will.

We all take the amounts of meds which seem to work for us. Though to your original question, 6 isn't too much as far as it goes. If it keeps things under control for you and your doctor is comfortable with it, then you're set! :-)

Your total daily dose of Tylenol should never exceed 4000 mg.

There is no cap on what a maximum dose of hydrocodone could be......it all depends on your doctor's willingness to up the dose, your pain tolerance, activity level , etc.

There is no magic formula either for "6" hydrocodone for RSD for 1 extremity, OxyContin for 2 extremities, Fentynal patch for whole body, etc Every patient is different.

I will say that Hydrocodone 10 mg/Tylenol 325 mg has only ever lasted me 4 hours, never 6 . Normal dosing is for every 4 hours.

There are no dumb questions when it comes to meds.

I'd also caution you that comments like "Some Chronic pain people aren't even doing that ?? They sometimes just think disability is the way to go.. anyhow thanks for the info.. " can really offend people. I am on disability now and I've give anything to be able to work again. I'm still hopeful it will happen once WC approves tx for my RSD

We are all just trying to struggle along having this crappy condition

I hope your pain is kept within your med scope;working can be very difficult under the influence while at work, as well as driving.
You have been given good feedback on your question.

Yes I understand why you In quotations copied what I said, I guess it was insensitive to say that and I am sorry.. Just now learning about rsd and the best way to handle it>> Thanks Again LISa
