vicodan ES Pain Relef?

Answer 1

What about it,Larry?

Answer 2

Vicodin in any form does relieve pain but what about fixing the cause.

Much pain is from muscles below is an example of what may help (based on headaches).
Begin with a couple swigs of molasses or a couple of bananas daily - magnesium (which regulates many things in the body) and potassium (a needed building block for muscles).
Drink at least 1/2 gallons of water per day. Running a body low on water is like running a car low on oil is the analogy the head of neurology at UCDavis told my husband about 10 years ago.

Now to the cause - muscles - your back, neck shoulders and head have tender spots. They are knots in the fibers of the muscles called trigger points. It makes the muscles tight which makes them press on nerves and other things causing the pain.

The cure - start with a professional massage, you will also want to go back over any place you can get to 6-12 times per session up to 6 times per day rubbing (or lightly scratching on your head) every where that is tender until the knots go away. The place where the skull connects to the spine press up under the edge of the skull (to get to those muscles).

For more information read The Trigger Point Therapy Workbook by Davies. It teaches what to do and where the pain comes from.
I use both a chiropractor and massage therapist.

Answer 3

Vicodin is an opiate pain reliever. It is a combination of hydrocodone and acetaminophen (Tylenol).

Use of Vicodin can lead to physical dependence. If you use it recreationally, it can cause addiction.

Overdose can lead to respiratory depression and death. It can also cause slow heartbeat, seizure (convulsions), cold, clammy skin, confusion, severe weakness or dizziness, feeling light-headed, fainting, constipation, urinating less than usual, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite or itching.

What else do you want to know?

Answer 4

Don't let these idiots scare you. If you take the medication properly as directed by you doctor, there is a less than 1% chance of addiction. If you have to take it long-term, you will become dependant, which is much different from addiction. Diabetics depend on insulin to manage their daibetes, but no one cllas them addicts. Chronic pain patients depend on opiates to manage their pain, but people stigmatize them and call them junkies. Opiates are the oldest and safest form of pain relief out there, the key is to take them EXACTLY as prescribed and not increase the dose without your docs order or use them recreationally. If you do those things, your life can be greatly enhanced by being pain-free and you will not become addicted.
