I'm on hydrocodone right now because I fractured a rib from coughing (had bronchitis.) I coughed for like a month straight and kept saying "it will just go away, no need to go to the doctor" and I kept thinking it was getting better but the next day it would be worse again.
Fractured rib hurts Hydrocodone isn't doing much for it at all and I'm taking more than prescribed. My rib is hurting more and more every day. I'm gonna have to go back to the doctor soon and get them to give me something else.
I got 800mg Ibuprofen along with my percocet. The Ibuprofen is to keep the swelling of my mouth down, and the percocet is mostly for the pain. I kept waking up last night because it hurt so much.
What kind of hydrocodone did you get? One of my good friends got this cough syrup stuff that soothed her throat and took away most of the pain in her chest. Sorry to hear that you fractured a rib.

It's the cough syrup kind. I've had it before, and liked it a lot more then. Honestly, I think my dosage is too low.
My prescribed dosage is "1-2 teaspoons every 6 hours" which comes out to 1.5-3mg hydrocodone per dose. I've been taking 3 teaspoons instead, which is 4.5mg hydrocodone.
Even then, the normal dose of hydrocodone for me, if I were taking the pill form, would be 1-2 500mg pills every 6 hours. That's 5-10mg hydrocodone every 6 hours. I'm not even hitting 5mg with the stuff I've got and I'm taking more than I'm supposed to.
Honestly KA, a 4.5mg dose won't help much for cracked ribs. (atleast for me) I'd be taking 7.5-10mgs. aka 750mg or 1000mg Vicodin pills.
Ok, first of all if you took 1000mg of Hydrocodone you'd fucking die almost instantaneously. Standard vicodin is 5mg hydrocodone with 500mg of acetaminophen, typical dosing is 1 every 4-6 hours. K_A, if you're taking the liquid the strength is 7.5mg/500mg per 15 ml. So the dose you're actually getting is 7.5 mg since 15 ml is 3 teaspoons, also equivalent to one tablespoon. The dose they're prescribing you is 5mg, though.
