I have a very messed up back went to neuro dr who wants me on hydrocodone. is that right?

Messed up back: Putting you on hydrocodone for what is presumably a chronic problem is a bad idea. Hydrocodone is good for use in pain that is expected to be of short duration. I would see a pain doc and have them suggest options for you that would be more appropriate.
