not a choice

<<I am allowed 2 Vicodin per day for knee pain - they have 500mg

acetaminophen each. My hep said it was okay to take, >>

I also take pain meds daily, usually between 2 and 4 vicodin. When the

vicodin no longer helps I switch to something else for a while and then

switch back. A lot of people will increase their dose--thats not only bad

for the liver but a good way to get addicted.

Sherry you didn't say how old your son is, but his age might be a major

concern when using narcotic pain meds.
