I had hip replacement surgery on Dec. 19 2019 and it never took away my pain. I finally found out that the hip pain was caused by a disk herniation of my L2 disk. I am having an outpatient procedure on Dec. 16 to finally resolve my hip pain. 
Unfortunately, I have been on Norco for the last year. First I was on straight oxycodone for about the first 5 months and now on hydrocodone for rest. I am not abusing my medication, although I am insistent on taking it. Last week I was given a nerve block to make sure that the L2 was the correct place that is causing my pain and the pain went away. I stopped taking my pain meds for three days. At first I thought I had the worse flu even. My stomach hurt so bad, I had chills, I couldn't eat and much more. There was no fever. It was the worse three days of my life. On the fourth day, I realized that this was not the flu and that I was in full withdraw. 
Once I have my surgery on Dec. 16, there will be only a 7 day recovery. I then need to wean off the pain meds and I would like to admit myself to you and stop the pain meds all together. 
Please call or email me information to take the next steps.
