I can't take Vicodin it causes me to have a bad stomach ache so I was davcet now its causing stomach problems what other drug can I take for chronic pain ?
Both of these products contain acetaminophen which can be the cause of all these stomach aches. It is important that you take these medications with food. That will help minimize some of the gastric distress you are experiencing. Speak with your doctor and see what he would like you to do for your drug therapy. The best pain medication for your depends on: how badly you hurt from a scale from 1-10, if the pain radiates, if it is a dull or sharp pain, what makes it feel better/worse, etc. Knowing this information will help you pick a different medication because some work better than others.
