Which is better to take 50 mg of Tramadol or 10 mg of Toradol?

This is an individual case by case decision, due to the number of variable which require consideration. Poor kidney function would limit the safe use of Toradol. Addiction concerns have, occasionally, limited the safe use of Tramadol. These are just two examples of many that must be considered when selecting the most appropriate pain medication for a given individual with a particular pain condition.

Will your pain management Dr GP follow your surgeons recommendation to put you on methadone if He has you taking 6 Hydrocodone 10s a day now?

Well, it depends. Methadone is prescribed for pain management but it depends on what your looking to do. If you are trying to get off of opiates then I doubt he would recommend Methadone for 6 Vicodins a day because that is not that bad of an opiate habit and methadone is alot stronger than Vicodin so there would be no point in going from Vicodin to methadone if your trying to get off opiates. But if you are looking to get better pain management because the 6 Vicodin 10mg's are not enough or are not working, than yes your doctor may follow your surgeons recommendation. From all the people I know who take methadone for pain management, they all love it because they can function more and do not get as "high" and as tired, but it really works well for pain.

Are narcotic pain contracts legal and when a patient refuses to agree can a physician stop established narcotic pain management therapy knowing it will has caused harm to the patient?

Opiate agreement contracts are not typically legal contracts. They are a means to establish boundaries between you and your physician. Depending upon the state, your physician may dismiss you for no reason. Opiate withdrawal is not always harmful. Typically a trained qualified pain physician will try to wean you from opiate medications depending upon how egregious the opiate violation may have been. If the physician cannot get good information from the patient on current medication ingestion, this can be difficult. Of course death from opiate overdose is always more harmful than surviving withdrawal.

It is considered one of the best sources of protein and amino acids by the Food and Agricultural Organization of the United Natins. It is llight and fluffy when cooked and is a more nutritious alternative to rice as a side dish or salad. It is sold as a no-gluten food.
