Dihydrocodeine tartrate how effective is it compared to other opioids.

[bloodred1889]

ok so swim has had back pain for 6 years, blah blah...
had many appointments at chyropractors, rumatologists, pain managment specialists...
been on everything all the way from paracetamol>codeine to currntly Dihydrocodeine tartrate.

its not working, swim has to take 3-4 30mg tablets to get releif.
swim has just started seeing a new doctor as she has moved, the first thing he said when swim showed him her bottle of Dihydrocodeine tartrate was hmm these are abit strong for someone your age. we will have to look into those.

i.e im gonna take you off these as soon as i possibly can.

the point is swims back has steadily been getting worse, swims legs hurt alot of the time, swim thinks it could be sciatica.
swims joints hurt aswell expecially in her fingers, swim suggested once that maybe it could be arthritus because thats what it feels like.. she was laughed out of the doctors, aparently a 20 year old cant have arthritus.

but swim is basically at a point were she dosnt know what to say or do.
she has to be carfull what she says, if she says she wants stronger painkillers she will be taken for an addict, if she says it hurts all the time she just gets sent to a rumatologist, and then told no because she might get addicted.
how can swim tell her doctor to stop worrying about the risk of addiction and tollorence and just give her somthing.
why do we need to be dying to get anything strong.

swim thinks somthing stronger would help, ideally somthing strong enough were she can take 1 pill and it will help, instead of basically overdosing.

swim is from the uk, swim thinks somthing like vicodin would be perfect, but we dont have that here and if we do you have to be dying to get it.

please help.
swim wants to say the right things to swims new doctor.
