Works great and I don't have to waste money on a doctor.

His arm was sore again the day after cause he aggravated it in a near

fall on the ice. He took it again and so I could see the effect

during the day light hours when I could see his eyes and his

behaviour. I was curious to see what was so addicting about the

substance. We all noticed that he was smiling a whole lot more than

usual but the pain was not subsiding! A pain pill that didn't take

the pain away??? What was it for then? It took 3 days for me to get

him to try just plain ibuprofen in place of the vicadin. Finally he

did cause he actually wanted relief from the pain. He took 600 mg of

that and said ibuprofen was much better !!

about vicadin? Do they prescribe it just to hook people on it and

pretend that pain is the reason for taking it? The bottle is being

dumped. My son tells me that it has a street value of 5 dollars a

pill.... There's just got to be something wrong with vicadin...

YOu can ask him to pay for drug rehab for you. That might make things change quicker.

We have been given a tip to use serrapeptase and bromelain for taking swelling down on this page. We are grateful for that. It took the pain down fast.

He is now in physical rehab and have yet to determine if he needs surgery but he is recuperating so fast that It's beginning to look like he may not need surgery. His MRI showed a chipped bone in the shoulder, a torn labrum and a full thickness rotator cuff tear. He is making measurable progress every day!

I am sorry you're going through the struggles that you have with your surgeries and recovery and having to deal with the drug pushers too...

Keep us posted!..

Sincerely Barb M.
