pain
"I've recently been diagnosed with a rotator cuff tear, osteoarthritis in my neck, and peripheral neuropathy.  I'm also waiting to get surgery for herniated discs L-5 to S-1.  I've been on Lortab and really couldn't tell it was doing anything.  I had become very depressed due to the severe pain I've been experiencing.  The doctor gave me Percocet and at first I was very hesitant to take it.  But now that I am it has made such a huge difference.  I've only been on it for a few days but for the first time in a very long time I was able to go to sleep last night and stay asleep for more than 3 hours at a time.  My shoulder that has the tear is still painful but it is bearable now.  I really hope that it has the antidepressant effect too."
