"i started taking this after my knee surgery, i found it to be be great. my recovery time was fast. i had no pain and lot&#039;s of energy. it started with 3 or 4 pills a day then after that it got to be 5 or 6 a day. i then had foot surgery. i had to take more for the pain to go away. this went on for 5 years. by the time i got help i was taking 20 to 25 pills a day. i now know that god is watching over me because if he wasn&#039;t i wouldn&#039;t be here now. i am now off of all pain killers but it took a lot of hard work. i&#039;m letting you know this because it creeps up on you before you even know it. vicodin may help you at first and you may be able to control it. i thought i could. i&#039;m just asking you please be careful with this medicine."
