Hi Sherry,

Yes I am still around, I just don't have much time to read or post

these days. From about 6 months post op until I had my

abdomnioplasty last summer at 3.5 years post op, I had chronic back

pain. The only drug that worked for me to control the pain was

hydrocodone . . . I don't even remember the brand name for it? I was

on it for 3 years! I never increased the dosage and therefore I had

no problems when I went off it, after all my plastic surgeries were

over and my chronic back pain was gone. I don't miss it at all! I

still have occasional back pain as I still have scoliosis and

arthritis in my back as a result. Now, I only take Ultram when I

need it . . . feels so good to be off of all narcotics. If the

abdomnioplasty hadn't worked, the next step was a pain control

implant or even serious back surgery. I can say from my personal

experience with hydrocodone, if you follow your doctors RX and take

as little as you can to keep on top of the pain, you should be fine.

Addiction and gastric problems occur when the patient keeps upping

the dosage on their own. It is a good medication and it works

wonders when not abused.

Like with food etc?
