Yes I Have Been On Hydrocodone 4 Almost 10 Yrs

Yes I have been on Hydrocodone 4 almost 10 yrs now for chronic pain from a severe head injury in 2006 but had Heart attack and 5 bypass in 2011 which resulted in the finding of type 2 Diabetes and the onset of severe Neuropathy so the pills kept on coming I really have not noticed any side effects except for occasional constipation which I think I stopped with the Cone head method o0f mass quantities of fish oil 2 times a day along with the 11 other pills I take daily just to have a somewhat half way good day which is seldom but they do come sometimes sooooooooooooo am I killing myself with all these drugs and is there an alternative to opiates also have had back surgery 5 yrs ago so yes I have had I believe more share of painful issues in my 70 yrs not to mention being an active Ironworker 4 33yrs. may have added to the pain in some degree .
