Is it safe?

I am 15 weeks and have recently sprained my knee. The doctor at the er told me it was on for me to take vicodin and gave me some to take home to manage pain. I however, heard that  you can't take anything but tylenol. So any thoughts out there?

Vicodin when used as prescribed, is perfectly safe during pregnancy.
Doctors tell you only tylenol because it's the only OTC pain management med that is safe.
