pain
"Diagnosed with Carpel Tunnel Syndrome, my physician prescribed two Vicodin a day for pain relief.  For the first couple of days I was drowsy after the noon tablet but now my body seems to have acclimated itself to the drug and I'm no longer drowsy, and I'm reasonably pain free.  It isn't perfect, but I gave it an eight out of a possible ten!  I don't expect to be on it long enough to worry about addiction."
