"i&#039;ve had chronic back and neck pain for over 10 years and drugs like vicodin, lorcet and others like them quit working. was taking ms contin for 5 years and it started to loose its effect. started the dilaudid 2 years ago and still doing well with it. without it i would have a constant pain level of 8 to 9.5 and unable to do anything. with it my pain level runs 4 to 6 and i&#039;m able to do some things. i&#039;ve been unable to work for 10 years but now can do some wood working with a little lathe."
