@helennicola - Oh - so good to know! I will stay where I am for a few days and then taper down and see if the pain is still controlled!

I assume that T1's are either not available in the USA or are sold under a different name - but here in Canada they are an over-the-counter drug (must ask the Pharmacist for them) that contains Tylenol and a small amount of Codeine. I've always assumed they have 1/3 the amount of codeine as T3's - but I honestly do not know. Taking 2 almost always handles my pain. I just know that none of the regular meds (Tylenol, Ibuprofen, Naproxen) touch my pain. One drug I've tried and hate is Tramadol. My (previous) doctor prescribed some for me a number of years ago, and after taking 2 or 3 tablets I took the entire bottle back to the pharmacy. It didn't really touch my pain, but it made me incredibly nauseated. I prefer T3's when I'm in bad pain, but the opioid crisis has ensured that those are almost impossible to obtain - especially now that I have a new doctor who will need to be convinced that I am not a drug addict.
