"i was started on vicodin, 6x a day, in 2003 for a traumatic lower spinal injury, that never healed properly.  over the next 4 years i ended up taking 2-3 norco 6x a day, and that wasn&#039;t cutting it. i started suffering from radiculopathy which is debilitating, and ended up seeing my pain management specialist once a week, getting 120 norco, and 30 100mg ms contin&#039;s, each visit, and having to go twice a week because the medicines weren&#039;t helping, for injections of dilaudid 12mg im.. after another 3 years passed, and my my doctor began to worry about my acetaminophen intake, he decided to put me on methadone, 25mg 3x a day, and it saved me. i have breakthrough pain, but norco helps to where i am pain free 90% of the time!"
