I just dropped a 30lb dumbbell and it only got my big toe it's pretty nasty and had to have the toenail taken off. They gave me narco for the pain I only take them to get through my cardio but I usually pop 2 of them for my hour of cardio. I track everything I eat and that has been the only thing I changed and I am up 8 pounds wondering if it could jus be possible water weight or if narco would even cause that.

What are you taking for the pain specifically? Most pain relieving narcotics will not cause water retention.

I believe narco is 10 mg of hydrocodone and like 200mg acetaminophen

Opiate pain meds won't normally cause water to load. One another note however they do cause a drop in test levels. Just a side note alot of people are unaware of.

I believe you are taking Norcos, they have a fairly large amount of acetominophen content and cause the liver to stress. You may be experiencing some swelling in that organ. I would deff stay away from alcohol and any Tylenol type OTC meds.

Norco is 10hydrocodone/325acetominophin.

Fluid retention is not a side effect of acetaminophen. I did look up hydrocodone side effects though - decreased urination is a side effect for about 10% of people on it. I don't think that's it either though. In any case, people usually lose weight on hydrocodone (but that's after a few weeks). Changed anything dietwise? Added creatine maybe? Different scale? It takes a lot to make 8lbs.

No the only thing that changed is hydrocodone that what has me really confused if anything I figured I would lose I just stepped my cardio to 1 hour in the morning 1 hour in the evening and depending on how I feel I will either lift in the morning or night jus depends on where my movation is at I don't lift Saturday or Sunday but still do the cardio. So I don't know what's up
