Can i take crushed lortab to relieve pain in hip bone?
Patient: I have stage IV lung cancer which has traveled to my hip bone and is giving me pain. I have been prescribed Lortab 7.5/32 to relieve the pain. I take it as seldom as possible, but if I wait too long I have bad pain for up to an hour after I take it before I get relief. If I crush the pill and dissolve it in water will it take effect sooner?
