It's awful I was back to my PCP today for an emergency appt with severe pain. She put me on Vicodin. I've never has prescribed Vicodin before but have a bit of a troubled past with pain killers many years ago, never addicted just too much of a fan but I honestly was in so much pain I just couldn't take it. I took half a pill this afternoon and another half pill tonight. I can take two full ones a day if I need to, Dr said not to exceed that only gave me enough for 5 days and I have to go back to her for refills. People in AA were all VERY against it but I really need it
