UncleB says "Great Break Through Pain Medicine" about Hydrocodone 5MG/500MG Pain Reliever

I am very pleased with this break through pain medicine.I am a spinal cord injury patient and a chronic pain sufferer.I broke my neck at the C-6/C-7 vertebra and punctured my spinal cord.I started out on morphine and moved down to Oxycontin.Oxycontin is a powerful pain medicine that has to build up in your system and then continue without stopping to help with long term chronic pain.

The constipation that comes along with these powerful daily drugs is terrible.When I was finally able to go home my rehabilitation doctor put me on Vicodin 5/500mg.It was in the winter time and my nerve pain was unbearable.I found that if I took two of these generic Vicodin/Hydrocodone 5/500mg that within about 45 minutes the pain would start to subside.

I was able to wean myself off of Oyxcontin in about three to four weeks.You just can't stop taking some of these narcotics like this or it could kill you.I can now take the hydrocodone as soon as I feel the intense pain coming on.I know I will feel some relief...

mariolntn says "thank goodness for hydrocodone" about Hydrocodone 5MG/500MG Pain Reliever

first of all, let me just say, thank goodness for hydrocodone and other strong pain killers like it!!! i could not live without them!!! i have chronic back pain and i would not be able to hold down a job if i didn't have a strong pain medication like hydrocodone. i do not suffer any negative side effects from it that other people have reported such as constipation, nasuea, headaches, dry mouth, etc. i get a little dizzy from it sometimes, but this is no big deal. hydrocodone is well worth the money and time and effort it takes to get it. doctors are sometimes hesitant to prescribe strong, possibly addictive painkillers, but if you have chronic pain, don't give up. you can find a doctor who will give it to you eventually and you will be so glad when you do. even on my worst pain days, hydrocodone helps me out immensly. and it works quite fast too. besides pain relief, it also makes you just feel good in general.

I suffer from Chronic Pain and I would not be able to function daily without Hydrocodine. Thank God for Hydrocodine. It is an expensive drug. This medicine can be very addictive so please be careful, however it does work short term that it. If you want a long term drug you might want to disscuss that with your doctor.

PaperChaser says "The pain is finally gone" about Hydrocodone 5MG/500MG Pain Reliever

I was placed on Vicodin or hydrocodone after having several teeth extracted. It really helped with the pain. I did find that it caused nause but taking it with food helped. The medication is a combination of acetaminaphin - tylenol - and hydrocodone. Together they work in sync to relieve pain. Taken in higher doses than prescribed tylenol can be very damaging to the liver and some studies suggest that even in smaller dosages it can be harmful. I wouldn't want to be on hydrocodone on a long term basis but for the dental work it really helped....

A couple of months ago, I was playing baseball with my two boys in the backyard. At some point during the game, I must have either swung the bat too hard or threw the ball wrong because the next day and everyday since, I have had terrible pain in my neck and shoulder. I went to the doctor and although we don't yet know what is wrong, he recommended Ibuprofen for inflammation and Hydrocodone 5MG/500MG Pain Reliever for the pain. The Ibuprofen did its job but I wasn't very impressed with the Hydrocodone/Acetaminophen.
