Yes but Hydrocodone is not, I have gone off of it a couple of times when I ran out and have felt sore and achy but no cravings it doesn't seem to be addictive.
This back pain is really debilitating,in fact it is making my life a misery.I keep telling the doctors about it but nothing ever seems to get done about it.Some days it is so bad it almost brings me to tears.I don't know what else to do,i try so hard to stay positive but this continuous pain makes it so difficult.It makes me wonder whether it is worth it.Sorry to be moaning all the time,but i really am on a downer at the moment.

So none of these choices is good. My question is: What are others doing for pain management? Also, has anyone had accupuncture, and if so, did… read more

Just starting my VRd treatment. Should these meds help alleviate my back pain or make it worse? I’m on hydrocodine-Acetaminiphine but doesn’t seem to help much.
