"i like using percocet for my back pain. it helps more than other pain pills that i&#039;ve taken before. lortab didn&#039;t do anything or ultram. i do have a scheduled epidural for my back this week. so, hopefully when, i get that shot i might not need to take as many percocet! i also, have to take zanaflex, muscle relaxer&#039;s twice a day for my spasms. they just make you really tired. so, if you have to drive i wouldn&#039;t take the muscle relaxers.
