"i have been taking norco for about a year now and it works for me with very little if any side effects. i had surgery on c2-c3, c3-c4, c4-c5, c5-c6. the surgeon wants to cut again on c7. had a plate with screws put in neck in 2006. i have degenerative disc disease with severe bilateral neuroforaminal stenosis. i take 10/325 of norco three times daily and it helps the pain and is keeping me from surgery on c-7. only 30% of all neck surgeries are successful and will stay on norco to prevent surgery as long as it works and for now it is working, with no side effects."
