Asked By:mushu22 in Buda, TX

I had a BA 2 weeks ago. After one week Dr gave me Tylenol 3 for pain. I broke out in a bad rash so I can't take it. I have 2 toddlers and have to be very active, and I end each day in a lot of pain, so i cant sleep! I take muscle relaxers, I've tried taking the max dose of Ibuprofen, and Tylenol, but i still have considerable pain. Husband is a Paramedic and said to ask for a script of 5mg Norco, so my Dr won't think I'm a junky! I'm embarrassed to ask, but I hurt and I've tried everything.
