Norco dose frequency

Just want to add that you should take a stool softener daily when on the norco. Or drink prune juice. Narcotics tend to be constipating.

Thanks for the reminder. I just ordered some medicine for that and it'll get here today.

@Horace, update?
Still have significant pain when the pills wear off. Taking ibuprofen and norco as you suggested. Keeping the leg elevated is important, but I need help with that because even with the support of my good leg, I can't help but flex the quad a little. I need someone to lift the leg whenever I get into or out of bed, or whenever I rest the calf on the piano bench when I sit at my computer. I am being very careful.

Are you supplementing with more acetaminophen?
No, I don't have any of that. Just ibuprofen.

Get you some! It’ll make a huge difference.

How are things today?
Doing well, thanks George. Taking the acetaminophin as you described. Also realized I can lift my leg by wrapping my hoodie under the calf and pulling with my arms, so I'm a little more independent. Won't have to wake up my wife several times a night to use the bathroom. Eventually I'll be able to use my good leg to support it but the pain does not allow for that currently. I can't help but activate the bad quad when I try to do that. Anyway the pain is getting better every day, and I won't need the full supply of opioids.

Several times a night? You're too young to have Old Man's Disease.
Glad to hear you're doing better!

Too much coffee... and not enough sleep.
