Thanks, jax01. I'm sorry you have a condition needing pain treatment. But I'm glad you've been able to deal with it by using meds appropriately. Maybe I have been getting a bit hysterical without sufficient reason. I have no history of drug abuse.

I actually got the script for hydrocodone/acetaminophen 10/325 filled today at a decent price. I been dithering about taking one, since I got home. The doctor even told me, "I recommend treating the pain." So that's what I'll do.

I appreciate the help I've gotten from replies on this thread.
