Pain meds and numb hands?!


Question:

Pain meds and numb hands?

whenever i take pain meds vicodone, oxycontin ect, i often get numb hands when i lay down and fall asleep, is this normal or do i just have bad circulation, i never get this when im off of the pain meds, why are the pain meds causing this? I also should add most of the numbness is in the left hand.

Answers:

Numb fingertips and such are normal. the painmedication is simply doing its job, dulling the pain. But you should not mix painmeds together nor should you abuse them.
