"I have a blown-out knee and major back issues, needing surgery on my back and a knee replacement. Also, two out of four left shoulder ligaments are torn in half. If not for Vicodin, I would not make it through a day. The only side effect I have once in a while is constipation and upset stomach. I've been on this pain regimen for four years. There are good days and real bad days where nothing helps."

"My back was severely injured in 1981. I have had numerous surgeries and am disabled. I have an implanted pain pump. I have used Vicodin for at least 20 years. I use it when I need it. I go several days and sometimes weeks without taking it. I get some pain relief. I am never pain-free. I don't use enough to kill the pain, just enough to make it bearable."
