If you are taking that many to relieve your pain you probably need to go back and see the MD. With fractures you can sometimes get compartment syndrome. This is very serious. You need to be checked out and eliminate the worst case. Also the MD may want to try you on some other type of medicine. Hydrocodone can be very addictive because of the receptors in the brain it works on. Be careful I am speaking from experience.

alternate the hydro and advil, for exaple if you are taking 2 hydro every 4 hours, take them, then in 2 hours take a few advil, then n 2 hours you will be ready for the next dose of hydro then 2 hours advil, so you are taking both the hydro and the advil every 4 hours.
good luck

You tell the doc it's not effective and they will give you something else. just monitor yourself, and ask for help in you need it, and watch for addiction. But once the pain is gone, get OFF 'EM. A lifetime of addiction is no fun, for the addict OR those around him/her. Best of luck sweetie, hope you feel better soon!!!

The Doctor is who you need to tell this to. If you are EATING them you are taking too many.
Keep your leg raised and Iced to help the pain . Keeping it raised keeps the blood from pulsing through it. Easing the pain. It will get better.
Trust me if you run out they will not refill them if you have exceeded your dosing. So find other ways to relieve the pain.
