Have taken Vicodin for 7 years now. Have a badly damaged knee and constant pain. This works, but am now moving up to MS Contin. For those in pain don't worry about dependence you need it. I work 12 hour shifts at a Hospital and this is the only way I CAN work. It knocks the pain back where I can concentrate on what I'm doing and not be in agony or short tempered. Use it without fear for pain...
I am SHOCKED that there is no warning of possible addiction listed for this drug, and others like it. Hydrocodone is the most abused prescription drug in America today. Obviously this website has decided to ingore the truth about this drug, and print what the lawyers asked them to print.

Pinched nerve at C-6 has caused left shoulder and left arm pain and weakness. Vicodin has a limited effect lasting about 1 to 1 1/2 hours.

I have cronic back pain and 1 to 2 Vicodin a day takes the pain away. I take 1 about 4 in the morning and it works most all day. about half the time I take another about 5 in the afternoon.

Since I am using it for long term pain control, getting the right dose to help will/has been a problem.

This is the best pain-killer I have used. I have used it while recovering from two very painful sports injuries, and let me tell you it helped tremendously.

Vicodin really takes the edge off without knocking me out.
