Q: degenerative disc disease treatment

asked by: HurtingForHelp on April 18th, 2008

New User

I have degenerative disc disease. I have been going to a pain clinic for about a year now and I am taking 2 Percocet 7.5/500 and 2 Lortab 10/325 tablets daily. I also have Chrohns disease and I had some blood work and it is showing abnormal liver readings. This is more than likely a result of the acetemetophan in the pills. I want to discuss the possibility of changing my pain medication to something that will work for my pain but not have this drug in me to possibly damage my liver. Any suggestions?
