It is a sorry site to see all of these people dealing with the pain. I want to cry but feel close to you all. My stength comes from a great big God that I am relying on, however, I have been taking Vicodin 750 for 3 or 4 yrs, started with 1/2 pill twice a day, then the 3, then to Norco 10. I have had all of the epidurals I can stand, The 1st one was a miracle, lasted 4 months, the last has done a little bit on one side. Nothing in xrays shows surgery worthy, however, I can't sit for over 6 hrs at work, can stand over 10 minutes without nerve pain in feet and shins. This doctor told me that Hydrocode makes you be in pain because it wants the drug. I can't tell you how depressing this statement was. Don't like it makes me hyper and if i was to take more that 3 a day I'd be a basket case. I didn't think it did anything to me but that was denial. To stop means I'd have to quit my job and lay around. Has anyone heard this, is it that addictive that it controls your brains?????
