"i am in my 40&#039;s and have got frozen shoulder in my left shoulder.  my doctor prescribed vicodin 5-500mg and it takes the edge off the pain. after the the first prescription of 30 pill were gone i requested a refill my doctor said he would only refill that bottle once more and that is it.  stating that i would have to endure the pain.  he did not want me to become addicted.  well i appreciate the concern, but what about my pain? my pills have not run out yet but when they do there will a constant pain. it affects my happiness, work, etc."
