Ed,
If the Percodan works in helping abate the pain let me let you in on a little secret my Friend, Percodan is %5 Hydrocodone and %95 asprin.
I have been taking Oxy-Contin which is %100 hydrocodone, they are coated for time released affect and at the begining you might need to take a few Percodan's for break through pain,but taking 8 percodans is like taking 1 40mg Oxycontin and 4000 mgs of asprin, all that asprin is not good for you at all.
Talk to your doctor about trying Oxy contins, you take 1 pill every 12 hours and I was Severe Chronic for over 30 years with never less than 7 atacks a day, I have been completely CH free for 5 months now and it's like a new life!
I'll probably get a lot of negitive feed back for giving you this advice but check with the Pharmacy and they will tell you that I know what I'm talking about, with all the aspirin your taking it's a wonder you dont have a hole burnt through your stomach and blood so thin that it seeps out your tear ducts! Good Luck Pappy!
