pain
"From one who judged harshly people taking this kind of medication I now find myself taking it for the last 3 years. It does not eliminate the pain however it does take it from a 9 to a more tolerable 3 or 4. I am and have been very concerned in regards to addiction and will periodically take myself off for 3 or 4 days, of course the pain is terrible but I need to know I can go without taking it just in extreme pain and can't ambulate without it. I call it my mini test. "
