Acetaminophen / hydrocodone
"After more than 5 years of taking 5/325s I have just 'graduated' to 7.5/325s.  I have spinal stenosis that can at times be tremendously painful.  I have horses to feed twice and day and the same for the horses.  With the 7.5s I can do the chores outside and come back in and help the wife do chores in the house.  It's not a 'cure all'  If I push too hard it still hurts, but it does usually take enough of the edge off to let me do what I have to do, and most of the time enjoy it.  I'm 69 diabetic and not really worried about addiction.

I was told by a surgeon that recovery time would be nearly a year with the first month spent cursing his name, again, 69 year old diabetic."
