If you suffer from chronic pain (pain that last for longer than six months) you may do better with a long acting narcotic medication, I.E Oxycontin/Oxycodone CR (Oxycodone), MSContin (morphine), Kadian (Morphine), Avinza (Morphine), Duragesic Patch (Fentanyl), Hydromorphone contin (Hydromorphone), Opana ER(Oxymorphone) and Methadone
If you have nerve pain or neuropathic path you may find that methadone works very well at controlling it. It is not just used for Herion addicts. However, due to it's unique chemical makeup it has a long half life and must be adminstered with care. if you decide to ask you doctor about it make sure he or she is quite familar with it.
if you have acute pain you may do better with any of the short acting medcations Morphine IR, Oxycodone (Roxicodone, Percocet, Percodan, Percolone, Oxy IR) Codeine, Hydromorphone(Dilaudid), Meperidine (Demerol), Oxymorphone (Opana), Fentanyl (Actiq lozenges, Fentora)
there are a few others but they are not as strong as Hydrocodone (Vicodine, Lortab, Norco) and they are Codeine and Propoxyphene (Darvon, Darvocet) Tramadol/Tramadol ER (Ultram, Ultram ER, Ultracet)
Some people find Tramadol a very powerful pain medication and while it is not actually a narcotic, it still uses the same receptors on the brain. From my experience I find it doesn't work all that well.
Good luck

There are a lot of pain killer's that are stronger than Vicodin. Morphine is one of them...Dilaudid, which is 5 times stronger than morphine and the last example would be Fentanyl.

What is the most important information I should know about acetaminophen and hydrocodone?
Hydrocodone can slow or stop your breathing. Never use this medicine in larger amounts, or for longer than prescribed. Narcotic pain medicine may be habit-forming, even at regular doses. Never share this medicine with another person, especially someone with a history of drug abuse or addiction. Keep the medication in a place where others cannot get to it.
MISUSE OF NARCOTIC MEDICINE CAN CAUSE ADDICTION, OVERDOSE, OR DEATH, especially in a child or other person using the medicine without a prescription.
Do not use this medicine if you have taken an MAO inhibitor in the past 14 days. A dangerous drug interaction could occur. MAO inhibitors include isocarboxazid, linezolid, phenelzine, rasagiline, selegiline, and tranylcypromine.
Do not take more of this medicine than is recommended. An overdose of acetaminophen can damage your liver or cause death. Call your doctor at once if you have nausea, pain in your upper stomach, itching, loss of appetite, dark urine, clay-colored stools, or jaundice (yellowing of your skin or eyes).
In rare cases, acetaminophen may cause a severe skin reaction. Stop taking this medicine and call your doctor right away if you have skin redness or a rash that spreads and causes blistering and peeling.

Fentanyl, like OxyContin, is one of the morphine-like painkillers used primarily for long-term treatment of chronic pain, and like OxyContin, it has caught on in isolated pockets around the country, according to the National Institute on Drug Abuse.
These drugs, along with other prescription drugs like Vicodin and Percocet, are the most recent in the long line of painkillers that have become powerful lures for abuse, and like others before them, such as opium and heroin, they are highly addictive.
"The potent painkillers are all opioids and these are all very addictive," said Dr. Carol Warfield, chief of anesthesia at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center in Boston. "They provide a lot of euphoria, and folks become physically addicted to them."
In patients with chronic or neuropathic pain, various other substances may have analgesic properties. Tricyclic antidepressants, especially amitriptyline, have been shown to improve pain in what appears to be a central manner. The exact mechanism of carbamazepine, gabapentin and pregabalin is similarly unclear, but these anticonvulsants are used to treat neuropathic pain with modest success.

It depends what type of pain your in. I was morphine for six months for burns. I did not find it addicting. I feel people who are truly in pain only find relief and don't feel high. All they want to feel is normal and be able to function. Morphine was a bad choice for me, because it made my skin flush and made me feel hotter. Oxycotin would have been better, but with all the hype in the news, my doctor was scare to prescribe in for fear of losing his license.
For nerve pain, I think neurotin or topamax(excellent for migraines) is better for long term relief. If you what a non-narcotic pain releiver, you might might what to consider Ultram (tramadol).

You will be needing to take ibupofen to keep the swelling down... you can safely take 600mg every 6 hours. As for it crossing to your baby, mostly everything you take crosses breastmilk. When something is "safe" for nursing mothers, it is either because the affects are not harmful for baby or because it is too weak to matter by the time it gets to baby.

Oral medication there are two.
Demerol (meperidine)
Dilaudid (hydromophone)
My mom was on dilaudid and the doctor described it as the closest thing to heroin legally available in the US.
