I have used both for pain..
The Opiods work great for the post surgery and recovery. I had a pump which I could hit a button and get extra dilaudid. That worked great except that I was whacked.
At home for recovery I have Percocet which I used for a few days. Now I eat edibles as needed (still doing Chemo) and Motrin.
What I have found during 6 weeks of Radiation was that Motrin and a 60mg Indica CanaCookie worked about as good as a Vicodin with my radiation burns
The Motrin would initially kick in and then the CanaCookie helped and I forgot all about the pain. The CanaCookies also help me sleep through the night.
They both work and can work together, but they don't work the same.
Peace
