It's possible that they might give Percocet in the hospital to manage chest pain that isn't completely relieved by nitroglycerin. I don't imagine that they would prescribe it for use at home for angina. As for muscle pain, I'm sure it would be effective, but may be "overkill" for everyday muscle pain.
