Pain Med use

[lpn44077]

Hello.

I have a ongoing pain issue. L4 L5 is messed up. I have been seeing a pain md off and on since May. I have taken Darvacet (2 pills at bed time) and a few Percs at bed time insted of the Darv since i am almost out of the Darvs till my appointment on Wed. IS this something to worry about? Drug testing has never been done at the small clinic but always a possible. I have a script for these. My pain is at night when i am in bed. The Darvs really help me sleep. The last few days i have gotten a rash and itching feeling since i have taken the Percs so i think i am allergic to them.
