Best Answer: Vicodin, no question Vicodin (hydrocodone/APAP) is a US schedule III opiate analgesic (pain killer). It is a centrally acting opiate, like morphine is. It is moderately weaker than Morphine. Ultracet (Tramadol/APAP) is a pseudo-opiate.
If you have had surgery, a scar may be present near the site of your surgery. Scar tissue massage is another way to help remodel scar tissue in the skin. This can also help loosen any adhesions between the scar and the underlying tissue and fascia. Kinesiology tape can also be used to gently stretch scar tissue.
As tissues go through the three stages of healingâthe inflammatory phase, proliferative phase, and remodeling phaseâGraston treatment can be helpful. Once the damaged tissues are healed, the remaining scar tissue needs to be removed. This is the main function of Graston Technique. Specially designed metal tools help sever adhesions and/or scar tissue. This is especially important in the final stage of healing: the remodeling phase. Once scar tissue is removed, mobility to joints is restored and frequently the pain from the scar tissue will be relieved immediately, although the discomfort from treatment may last 24 to 48 hours.
