Acetaminophen / hydrocodone
"I have taken Vicodin for low back pain (3 Herniated Disks) and have taken Norco for pain from Kidney Stones.  I find both to be effective at cutting my pain to a manageable level that allows me to carry out a mostly normal day when my pain is at it's worst.



The effectiveness of these medications is directly related to how often you take them:  The less you take them, the more effective they are.  When used as prescribed, these medicines are a great help to those people who suffer from moderate to intense pain."
