Hey folks. I am new to the group & joined it (surprise) b/c I'm having difficulty w/finding pain meds. Can't take any codeine based product--such as hydro (aka Vicodin). I have a degenerative cervical spine disorder & carpal/tarsal (hands and feet) tunnel syndrome. Let me say YU-U-U-U-Best if kept off the board! I've enjoyed looking around the site. If anyone has good suggestions for sources of better meds than codeine I'd be glad to hear it. Also, I am a professional in the psychopharmacological world--so may be able to help out if folks have wonderings about those types of meds!!! THANKS~
