Is there anything I can take that would help, I really dont want to give up the vicodin but its not worth the stomach troubles...

Thanks for any ideas and Happy Mothers Day!

How about trying the Fentanyl patch? I used to take about 30 pills total a day to help with my pain. Needless to say my stomach didn't like that. My doctor suggested the patch and it worked for me in higher doses. I still have to take a lot of meds but no where near as much. Might be worth talking to your doctor about. Hope this helps.
