Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 June~ I'm sorry, vicodin isn't an anti-inflammatory. It's another medication that I am on that is an anti-anflaminantory. Vicodin is a narcotic unfortunitally. But I am greatful that it does releave some pain. Darvacet doesn't do a think for me. Neither does codine. They used codine first off to try to help with my migraines. How crazy is that? I didn't question at the time, I just wanted releaf from the constant pain. How are you feeling today June? I hope you are doing well. I just got the mail and my new cruise book came. We are planning a cruise for sometime in 2004 with the kids and with 4 kids we gotta book early so we can pay it off in time. =-))) Talk to you later!!! ~ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 So sorry to hear about your fall. Instead of a pain pill, may I suggest an anti-inflamitory instead, something like advil, asprin. No tylenol. I hope your ankle heals quickly. For the gardening, have you searched the internet?

Guest guest Posted September 12, 2002 Report Share Posted September 12, 2002 Thank you, I did not realize that Vicodan is an anti-inflamitory durg.
