"i have l4 &amp; l5 degenerated bone to bone with spurs and stenosis. definitive nerve damage down both legs. doctor started me on hydrocodone 10 mg x4 plus soma 350mg x3/day. put me on 20/1.2 embeda for 4 months, then upped dose to 50/2.0 mg.  very seldom do i take vicodin or soma anymore. i can actually work at my job as a fabricator/machinist with little or no pain and no drowsiness or getting angry. kind of got my life back, and i can ride the harley with no worry of long-trip pains."
