I too have been experiencing pain in my back that can really take over at times. I believe it is partially due to going on 2 months of having tissue expanders, but it really hurts! I have a perscription for Vicodin, and usually take one a day, later in the day when things get really sore. This seems to be the only pain med that works for me. Percocet really knocks me out and Darvocet doesn't work for the pain. With the Vicodin I can maintain daily routine. What worries me is that I have read that taking this or other pain meds with Acetaminophen lowers glutothione levels which can cause cancer and hinder healing. I am using Whey Protein and NAC to combat this, but it still scares me. But I get to that point in the day where the pain is ruling, and I just have to do something. Taking one Atavan helps a little too, I think with muscles. Any thoughts or reassurance for me that this is OK or warnings that it is not?
Thanks in advance. I live on you guys' advice.
