> Dilaudid is FABULOUS. I'd be a happy woman if I could take that all the time. It was the only effective pain-killer I received after my hysterectomy in 2006. It not only killed the pain, but got me mobile again. The nurses were pushing morphine, Demerol, and codeine (when they remembered to medicate me at all). None of that stuff worked. The pharmacist put me on Dilaudid finally. It got rid of the pain without making me high.

You know what wierd is some opiates cause urine retentions and others do not. Percocet and oxycontin don't cause this problem were others slow things down to a dribble.
