Ck Meds w/Doctor: Please check with your personal physician if you have or think you have liver damage prior to stopping medications or starting new ones. If no contraindications exist and if taken as directed, under doctor's advice, Acetaminophen may be appropriate. Hydrocodone can have some side effects. Check with your doctor about any possibility of an NSAID for pain ; if appropriate for your condition.
