What to do if i have been taking vicodin for my broke tail bone about a week?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Dont understand ?: A broken bone typically causes moderate-severe pain for 3-4 days and then it improves. If you have been on the medication for a week, you have not developed a physical dependency yet, and should have no problem stopping. If the pain is still moderate-severe, something is wrong with your healing and you should see doctor again. If not, take plain tylenol (acetaminophen) or ibuprofen (if ok with your doctor).
