A member asked:

My friend takes 1 vicadin a day at the lowest dose for ankle pain.is she asking for trouble with dependence?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

It really depends: Was it prescribed for this condition? How long has she been doing it? She would be much better off if they could find what is causing the pain and fix it.
