My dad is on percocet for the pain he's been suffering and I was just wondering if one of the side effects can be numbness in his fingers?
Anyone know? Thanks Tina

It's listed as an uncommon side-effect. It falls under something called parasthesia, which can include numbness and/or tingling.
It's probably something you'd want to mention to the doctor, but it doesn't indicate anything major is going on. Lar |

((((((((((
 angel04)))))))))))))))))))))))Percocet is a narcotic/OTC analgesic (like APA..ah, general pain reliever) The narcotic part of it does tend to cause numbess/tingling in extremeties (myalgia) It's perfectly normal. If it is bothersome to him---tell him to call his personal Dr. for consultation...............another disclaimer: I am only a LPN...ALWAYS consult physcian FIRST for consultation -- do not stop taking medication suddenly/abruptly(dangerous)  Brought to you by(((((((((((((((((((  DAYZEE))))))))))))))))))))))))))
