    Default Vicodin is not helping....

    I was given 5MG vicodin but got the generic of Watsons. I was told to take 1 every 6 hours. At first I thought that would be fine because Im not a fan of painkillers but I find myself taking 1 pill every 1-2 hrs. This isnt even getting rid of the pain. Its just making it not as bad. I cant even walk without being all hunched over. Im in so much pain and this is NOT working. They only gave me 20 pills with no refill. Im going to run out of pills by tomorrow with the way this is going. I dunno what to do! I got them script from the ER so good luck getting another script without going in. Im so frustrated. Tell me they did not know how much pain I would be in. Instead of having cramping and backpains that last 1/2 hr a day like BEFORE the shot Im having the same pains all day and night. I was up every 2 hrs last night taking 1/2 a pill before barely falling asleep again thru the pain.... Maybe Im ranting. How do I get another script. I feel like I may as well be taking Ibuprofin because these Vics are NOT WORKING...

    Maybe you have a high tolerance like me..call your Dr and tell them the vics arent working. You may also just not respond to that PARTICULAR pain killer...not all of them work for everyone. Percs dont work on me for example. Vicodin takes the pain to a tolerable level...but it doesn really get rid of it for me either.

    Call them. Either they can up your dosage or try something differant

    Don't forget to get a stool softener and drink alot of water!! Vics will constipate you!!

    have you sat in a warm bath? if painkillers dont work for pain, usually heat helps, or atleast for me. I hope your feel better. I don't like seeing nice people suffer when they don't deserve.

    Sounds horrible, I am so sorry you are going through this.
    Are you sure all this pain is normal? Maybe you should go back to the drs.

    Careful with those Vicodins. Each one has 500mg of Tylenol. The maximum recommended daily Tylenol intake is 4000mg. It is tough on the liver.

    I wouldn't worry about sounding negative. You have every reason to feel down and need to go through a grieving process to feel better. I don't think anyone would hold that against you.

    Maybe a muscle relaxer would be more helpful, but hopefully you can get in touch with a doctor who will help you out. I know there is other stuff stronger than vicodin too. And yeah, vicodin makes me seriously constipated so definitely watch out for that.

    Im feeling a LOT better this morning. Im sore and tender but not in constant PAIN. Thank God. Hopefully it stays like this and I dont need the vic anymore. Im just soooo constipated. I had my guy buy Milk of Magnesia - yuck but thats what was recommended but I didnt take it last night.

    My abdomen cramps up when I go pee or have a little gas so Im scared to take it because I have a feeling its going to be awfully painful.
