I have been in a flare for what seems like forever now...the past couple of flares that I have gotten I have noticed severe low back and hip pain. The pain is so intense that it radiates down my legs. I am currently taking percocet for my pain and it does not work. When I asked my Dr. about the back and hip pain she looked at me like I was crazy and said that she has never heard of IC causing low back/hip pain. So, am I crazy? Also, others that take percocet, have you noticed that it does not seem to last very long? Any suggestions for a longer acting pain med would be greatly appriciated. I have several drug allergies: Vicoden, all NSAIDS, Tylenol 3 w/codiene, hydroxazine, BC pills, Sulfa, Tetracycline, and most anti-infalmitories and muscle relaxors. Also, is there an easy way to approach the whole pain med issue with your Dr.? I am a little scared because when she gave me the percocet she really stressed that I should only take it when the pain was extremely severe. She gave me 80 pills which lasted me 10 months I thought I was doing good, very few flares and usually I will just try to deal with it. When I went to get a refill last month, she kinda raised her eyes at me because the meds didnt last that long. As I said before, have been in a severe flare for about one month now my new rx of 80 is almost gone, I have used 50 in 45 days. I know she is not going to like this but when you have to take 2 pills at a time to get them to work....I dont know what to do. Any advice? Thanks
