I liked the use of "whale."

I'm just not one. Or the addictive type, either. I had rotator cuff surgery last month, and a couple people joked, "Oh, you get these really good drugs for the pain!"

I had Percocet (oxycodone + ibuprofen). It did nothing for me; no high at all. I wonder if there's a connection.

These are really good. I had them after removing my wisdom teeth (less than easy operation as they came out horizontally) I stopped taking them as soon as the pain subsides because I understand why someone can be addicted to them. The pain just vanishes a few moment after ingestion.

I think individuals vary. For me, they just dulled the pain; they didn't eliminate it.
