I have been taking Tylenol # 3 with codeine for about a year now, I have cronic back pain, caused by Degenerative Disc Disease. I have read that Tylenol can cause problems with liver function, but what about codeine? How safe is codeine, by it's self ? I've been taking Tylenol # 3 with codeine, 3 times a day, it helps take the edge off the pain, but does not eliminate it. I was thinking about asking the doctor to change me over to a pain medication that doesn't contain Tylenol," to be honest, what I have read about Tylenol scares me ". I think something that uses aspirin combined with codeine would be safer. I have also heard about a patch that delivers pain medication at a steady rate into the bloodstream, has anyone with cronic back pain used this patch? I am looking for thoughful answers here," no stoner jokes please".
