Pain
"Stage IV arthritis in the left knee, and spinal stenosis. It allows me to ignore the pain and keep working. Of course I treat the knee and back gently. I worry though about the acetaminophen. It never helped by itself, it does not seem to do anything in conjunction with the hydrocodone, and it may be damaging my liver or other organs. For this reason I cannot give the drug a &quot;9&quot; or &quot;10&quot;.  There is apparently no hydrocodone available without an additive."
