Are narcotic pain killers available in Vietnam

Jack,

Thanks for your service. You can try Victoria Med Centers. They have Tramadol.

Take Care

You might try looking for Flexiril under its generic name of cyclobenzaprine.  I doubt that you will find Percocet as it is the brand name for ocycodone/paracetomol.  I had both after my knee replacement in Hawaii, but I actually had to request cyclobenzaprine from my doctor as my clinic (Kaiser Permanente) prefers another muscle relaxer without the narcotic effect.  I hated the oxycodone and stopped taking it as soon as I could but I found cyclobenzaprine to be very effective.

Dear ltcjackwatson,

For your problem, I may suggest that :
* You can come to FV hospital, register with Pain control department and visit with Pain doctor. Then he/she will give you the prescription with Narcotic depend on your situation. You can buy medication at FV hospital.

* Or you can come to private Pain clinic - Dr THAI THI HOA - in dist 7. She is working in FV hospital ( Anesthesiologist + Pain control doctor). She can speak English + French. She was trained in French before. A good doctor for your case.
Her clinic address and:
80 Cao Triều Phát , Tân Phong , Quận 7, Hồ Chí Minh

Does anyone know of a pain management specialist in Hanoi? What are the costs of medical insurance ?

Tramadol is all you can obtain.  Like most other countries, opiates are very strictly limited.  Chinese carfentanyl is available on street, but very dangerous.
