Well, it's not like I take them everyday! I'm just now finishing up the bottle my doctor gave me 6 months ago when I hurt my leg up at lake Wawasee. There were 90 vicodins in the bottle. That averages out to only 15 a month, I think. I only take them when I'm really hurting. Melissa's boyfriend suggested some exercises for me to do, and I try those first before I take a pill.
My doctor just gave me a new bottle when I hurt my back, but it will probably take another 6 months before I need to get it renewed again. :)

Well that's good David, Better to be safe than sorry. Some people pop them all day long cause after awhile they need more for the same effect. Just like Jess said. The big problem with vicoden besides being so addictive is the dangers of interactions with other drugs. Even some cold medicines taken with Vicoden can be dangerous. I'm not too big on pain medicine in general.
It takes allot for me to even pop a Tylenol. But I have not ever suffered with a bad back so who knows what I would be willing to take for that kinda pain.

Don't worry Geri. I'll be a good boy! :D
But back pain is awful. I first hurt my back while working in a nursing home in the late 1980's. I was lifting people in and out of bed incorrectly. I hurt it again when I was personnel manager at Montgomery Ward. I was helping the Electric Avenue Manager move lawn tractors from the front of the store, and I tried to lift the front end of one up on a skid. I have hurt it several times since then. I shouldn't have tried to tilt the refrigerator the other night when Cody got his head stuck. But I panicked.
Back pain is one of the most awful things I have ever experienced. When it really starts hurting bad, I'll do just about anything to get rid of it.

gee David~
Sounds like you have a history with back problems. It wil probably always something that you will have to be very careful with. And yes i know a couple people that have put their backs out almost the same ways you have and when they act up they're laid up in pain for weeks.
kerry is right though. You could get massages to help relax the muscles. Sometimes that helps alot. And the hot to cold therapy works for alot of people too.
Poor baby! :(
