I'm sorry to hear you've been dealing with this for so long. I have a prescription for hydrocodone (Vicodin), but I only use it when absolutely necessary, and only at night because it really zonks me out. I prefer not to use it at all because it gives me a hangover the next morning and makes me hallucinate if I take it during the day. Otherwise, I use Advil liqui-gels or Tylenol (acetaminophen), but only as needed. Fortunately, over the last few weeks, I've been using painkillers less and less. You're right to be concerned about long-term usage. The Rx ones can be addictive and the OTC ones can cause liver or kidney problems. The only thing that has ever really helped me has been chiropractic adjustments.
