Want to know how i can get my doctor to switch me over to percocets instead of vicodain. the vicodain arent helping my pain, i have lupus?

Call him: If the pain medication is not working or causing too much side effects, then it needs be changed. On the other hand, pain medication is unlikely to do much if there is severe inflammation in the joints. I think you really need to consult a rheumatologist for your lupus.
