Q: What other pain medicine can you take while taking percocet
If the doctor will give it to you, fentanly patches.I was on both the 50mg patch and about 40 vicodin es a month for chronic pain from 2 broken ankles that never healed.
I had 27 screws and 3 plates between my two ankles and arthritis has since set in.
Only thing with the patches is you put a new one on every 3 days and with a new patch you peak in 12 hours and I was up all night every 3 days for a year and a half.
If your in a lot of pain and don't have to work it might be worth a try.
