What causes pain?: We can't really answer this question well without knowing the source of her pain. If it's lower back pain, for example, physical therapy and exercise may give better relief over the long term. Seeing another doctor for more Vicodin isn't a good solution. Her doctor is trying to do the right thing for her and help her get off this addicting medication for good.

Medication contract: She should see her family doctor about a tapering schedule and professional help if she still is unable.
