Answers:
yes!. you should probably talk to your doctor about this!. vicodin is an addictive drug substance with hydrocodone!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

taking pain pills reduces your body's natural pain tolerance!. When your body doesnt have to produce enough stuff to help with pain, you will feel it more than before you took pain pills!.
They are a true blessing and a curse!. I started taking them for TMJ and actualy became addicted, even tho I know I still need medication for chronic pain, I would rather take the quick fix than to take something less potent just to get rid of a little pain!.
If you dont want to have to take them for the rest of your life I would go to a pain specialist!.
They can put you on something less habit forming!.
Good Luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

You develop a tolerance to vicodin, but if you have pain I do not believe you will get "addicted" to it!. Addicts do drugs for fun or to cure withdrawal symptoms, not to cure their pain!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
