"i had back surgery (laminectemy of l4, l5 and s4 , 8 inch titanium rod w/7 screws)in october 2006 plus i have severe fibromyalgia and although percocet makes me a little sleepy, this is the first time in 4 years that i feel relatively pain free. about 5 doctors were afraid of giving me anything stronger than regular vicoden because of habit forming. who cared if i couldn&#039;t walk or participate in activities. i finally found a doctor that was willing to help! sometimes they give dogs more pallative care than humans. i should have gone to a vetenerian instead.
