My doctor wants me to go on oxycodone vs. norco. he feels it will help my pain due to ra more effectively. im scared, ive never had it. any advice?

Generally: Taking an opiod for such chronic condition may not be a good idea. Tolerance is likely to develop and the risk of addition is also high. See a Rheumatologist and been placed on disease modifying drugs may be the best option while other non- opiod analgesics should be considered
