I have been taking the same dose of hydrocodone for several years now. The same dose still helps with my neck pain. Maximum of 2-3 lowest dose available daily.
My main concern is my primary MD is retiring and I’m concerned newer doctors won’t prescribe anything! 😬 I cannot not use NSAIDs any longer because I got severe gastritis from them.

I understand your valid concern about your doctor retiring. It's a strange place to be in; chronic pain, something that helps us find a better quality of life, plus there's always a question about finding a doctor who will help. NSAIDs are really supposed to be short-term. Too much risk of GI discomfort or bleeds. Thinking of you!
