"i have herniated discs in my lower back from a fall. i generally don&#039;t like taking narcotic pain killers, but it gets to a certain point where i would take anything to make the pain stop. that&#039;s when i take one  5/325 percocet. it takes 90% of my pain away when i take it with motrin. i&#039;ve tried every non narcotic pain reliever and had no results. i tried ultram with high hopes but it didn&#039;t help. it&#039;s a shame that because of abuse this medication is so frowned upon (and hard to get even if you really need it). it&#039;s so helpful for me and gets me through days that i would otherwise spend crying or in bed. the only downside is if i have to take it a couple days in a row i get constipated. i have no dizziness, high feeling or nausea."
