Sandy, my name is Marie (Marield65) and have chronic pain from arthritis and back surgeries. What are you on now that works better for you because Vicodin only sometimes takes the edge off the pain and I have to lie down and another day is lost.
Thanks!Marie
@marield65 thats how I was with Vicodin. I had to choose which hour Of the day I would like to have some relief. Would It be before I attempted grocery shopping or after? My answer varied with the way I felt. Vicodin is a sort acting narcotic. I now take Percoset 10/325 1 tablet every 6 hours. Combining this with a TENS unit or lidocaine patches and Baclofen ( muscle relaxer) 2x day help .
We all do what we can to get by!

@sandytoes14 Thanks for the ideas. I always keep a list of my medicines with plus my do not resuscitate order for any doctor I see and in case of emergencies. But I will take my most current records and a list of all medical problems as you suggested. It sounds like things worked out well for you, I hope I will be as lucky and be able to keep my current pain medicine. Thanks again. 19lin
