Test was negative. so frustrating. I need something to help with pain management until they figure this out. Hydrocodone only works for about 4 hours and I refuse to take more than 2 a day. has to be something better,

Hi @trip17 Check one more thing off your list and keep moving on. It is a frustrating process but, you have to stay the course. We can be happy and sad when a test is negative. Happy because we really don't want one more thing but, sad because the challenge continues. I'm sorry and understand your frustrations. Regarding hydrocodone...you are brave and strong by enduring pain and refusing to take more. I get that because its exactly how I began 3 years ago, taking hydrocodone. At this point for me I now take 4 per day every 3 hours or if things are better in my body, maybe 4-6 hours. It is a constant battle being in pain and not receiving ample relief. I added medical marijuana to help when hydro doesnt. It's a viscous cycle. I wish you well and hope you find your answers.
