Yes it is an opioid which is why I take it very cautiously. Prescriptions are issued for only a small quantity with normally no repeats. My first prescription lasted almost 2 years. At this stage I'm only taking a couple of doses in the morning and then I seem OK for the rest of the day. Hopefully the exercise routine will help the morning pain gradually subside and I can leave the medication alone. > Discovered the thermacare pads when doing computer specs on a survey in > the 90's - got a bunch of samples..
