Today while Triming branches off trees in my backyard i feel and hurt my ribs. dont think they are broken but hurt eally bad.

I was looking for asprin or some pain killers and came across my brothers old "Oxycod" prescription. i looked them up and they are pain killers but they are expired as of 4/13/2004.

Will they work or is it gonna hurt me?

All medication is required to have an expiration date, as listed by the FDA. The pill itself shouldn'y change over time. You should be able to take it.

They might be dangerous if they are expired and depending on how strong they are they might become addictive

its not a good idea to take them
