"I had a root canal, and something went very wrong. The procedure, for those not familiar, is an infection at the very base of a tooth. I had swelling, intense pain in half my lower jaw, along with numbness. This medicine worked well for the pain, with minimal side effects, although I was very cautious driving and stopped medicines when going on major highways."

"I've had back pain for almost 3 years now, sometimes to the point of tears due to simple actions like walking or bending. After being put on this medication, 3-4 doses daily, I have had the pain relieved, and my actual mood and focus have increased at work. My previous evaluations and reviews were below average, and now, after being put on this treatment, my last two reviews have increased to above average. It takes effect quite quickly and lasts for the directed amount of time on the prescription. The only con I have for this medication is that it affects me in a negative way during intercourse. I have found that when on the medication, my climax takes 3-4 times as long or not at all during that time. Quite frustrating."

"I am 18. I have been using Vicodin for about a year now for migraines and back pain. My back problems started right after I had my son. I never experienced back pain or migraines until I had him. All the lifting him up and yelling triggered the issues! I was on a medication called 'Bultab.' It kept me awake all night, it was terrible. Thankfully, I was written a prescription for Vicodin, and it really helped."

"I have a problem with my rotator cuff (shoulder) which causes extreme pain. My doctor put me on an anti-inflammatory drug and Vicodin ES for the pain. I was almost pain-free."

"I would like to say that I have been in pain for approximately 4 years and finally have met with a good doctor who has put me on this medication. I take 7.5 mg pill 4 times daily, and it has helped me to be able to move around more, as well as being able to get things done. I am glad to have found a good doctor to have helped me feel better, to not be so miserable, and I wish people would not talk about the bad of using narcotic pain relievers, as it has been the only thing that has helped me."
