Not sure about voltaran. percocet doesn't do much for me. if you are really worried about narcotics then it is your decision. for me, it became a quality and ability to continue life and i would prefer that with some pain mgmt assistance ... vicodin is okay for mild pain, ultram... I opted for more potent stuff and honestly I am starting to feel better and able to decrease. I personally got to a point where I had to get thru the day and find some sleep rather than worry about some possible addiction -- i couldn't live curled in a ball, in tears, pleading for pain to fade so I could breathe for a min.. Always tradeoffs. Try accupunture, helped a bit for a little while. Jennifer At Thu, 26 Feb 2004, Lauren wrote: >
