And your concern is?: Advice about what? You need to present a question in order to get an answer. You have been taking enough of the medication to develop a physical dependency on hydrocodone. If it is prescribed and you are taking it appropriately, and it is helping and not causing other problems, I don't know what you want to do with that. If it is causing problems, talk to your doctor about it. It can be tapered.

You r tolerant: You cannot tell how much of your pain is true nociception, how much is hyperalgesia caused by the meds and how much is a rebound increase from withdrawal. Either wean or change to a formulation with more steady drug levels
