"i&#039;ve been on norco 10/500 2 times a day on and off for years. i have deteriorating defibrosis and the pain is unbearable especially in the mornings if i have not taken the medication to the point i can&#039;t get out of bed for about 20 mins and with help. i have tried tramadol, valium, flexeril, you name it. norco is the only medication that works wonders."
