pain
"I have problems with three discs and broken joint capsule in my neck, as well as arthritis in the same area of my neck. I first had a hydromorphone injection 4 years ago and my neck pain vanished away into a warm feeling in my neck.  I think this medication should be given more frequently to people with severe pain. I know doctors want to be cautious because this is an addictive narcotic, but 800mg ibuprofen tablets do not work for everyone.  I take 4mg tablets up to twice a day as needed for pain, but I don't use them every day.  Never ever take more than prescribed. I like Hydromorphone because I don't feel high at all.  I feel the same except no pain.  Everyone is different, so check with your doctor."
