Hydrocodone is relatively cheap and anecdotally quite effective. When I broke my ribs, I was told to take both Hydrocodone&#x2F;paracetamol (Norco) and ibuprofen every day. However, I knew my doctor was trying to get me hooked on it. So I spaced it out, I&#x27;d do one day Norco, then the next day ibuprofen, and I didn&#x27;t really develop much of a tolerance.<p>I did notice, however, when I had some shoulder pain the other day from weightlifting, that Norco is now very hit or miss for me. So I usually end up going with a high CBD edible or strain whenever I have acute pain.
