Just a small correction. Hydrocodone (Vicodin) is not as strong as Oxycodone (Percocet). Vicodin is a sched 3 and Percocet is sched 2. Both work well but Percocet is stronger. They are both VERY habit forming, so be careful guys. Had a bad back injury last year (Herniated disc) and had a hard time getting off the Percocet.
Do push fluids (water) while trying to pass it and keep the water thing up. It's good for you for many reasons. BTW, cranberry juice is good because the acid it contains is good for preventing UTI.
Good luck. I do know from my ER experience that I've seen grown men who are tougher than sh*t curled up in a tiny ball crying like babies from a stone. Prevention is key

well mike i did a little research and found this
Oxycodone
Examples
Oxycodone hydrochloride (OxyContin, OxyFAST, OxyIR, Percolone, Roxicodone, Intensol)
Oxycodone and acetaminophen (Endocet, Oxycocet, Percocet, Percocet 2.5/325, 5/325, and 7.5/500, Percocet-Demi, Roxicet, Tylox)
Oxycodone and aspirin (Endodan, Percodan)
that's off of web .D. they catagorize it in the same catagory, if you go to their web site and punch-up percocet it takes you right to oxycodone. both pills work the same they both act upon specific receptors in the brain and spinal cord to decrease the feeling of pain and to reduce the emotional response to pain.
although vicodin is not listed in the same catagory they both produce similar results. According to this.
