[|Human|] Im In pain 24 out of 24 hours a day.Im allergic to steroids so some of the extra pain relief I could get isnt available to me.Ive been on pain meds for about 15 yrs.I also have Hepatitis c,so meds dont need Tylenol so I take 10mg.Percocet.Ive been trying to make that work,but lately its not even getting close to even keeping me comfortable much less.Anywhere near the pain relief just to be able to perform daily things like baths.Do you have any ideas?
[|AI|]  Hello and thank you for your question. It really depends on why you are having the pain. Be aware that percent has Tylenol in it and that can be a problem with Hepatitis C. In most cases narcotics only mask pain. It is much better if you can find the source of pain and correct that than to keep masking it with narcotics. If you try to come off the narcotics you will need to be tapered off slowly since you have been on them so long. Seeing a pain management specialist may be helpful to you. Regards
