Advise Norco 5-325MG Tab Dosage For Back Pain
My Dr. gave me a script for Norco 5-325MG Tab, take 1 tab twice daily as needed. This is for my back pain. Just wanted to no more about dosage. Can I take more than above subscribed? Will happen? I wish I could get a permanent fix for my back! I'm 48 & I need a job, but my back worries me! Look forward to hearing from you! Thanks! Kathy

Hello,
I have studied your case.
Excessive dose will lead to sedation.Dose increasing will not fix your problem permanently.
Medication like methylcobalamine with muscle relaxant and analgesic will reduce pain; you can take them consulting your treating doctor.
Some exercises which can be done after pain has reduced include- Spine extension exercises, Lying on your stomach flat lift leg 6 inches from ground, do it for other leg.
Now lift both hand and leg simultaneously, 6 inch off the ground and stay
Position for around 10 breathes. Core stabilizing spine exercises will help.
You may consult physiotherapist for further guidance. He may start TENS, or ultrasound which is helpful in your case.
Hope this helps. Wish you a speedy recovery.
Take care
