pain meds are a pain
Quote From: son_of_ares if you are on pain medication (also called opiates.....such as
hydrocodone, loretabb,morphine) for a prolonged period your body
WILL DEFINITELY become dependent on these. It is a price you will
pay to deal with the pain. Is it worth it? You have to
answer that for yourself. If it's working for you and keeps
the pain away then you gotta do what you gotta do. Good
luck.
My cousin just entered rehab for pain med. addiction. It's true...It is YOUR CHOICE to use pain medication. There are alternative methods to deal with chronic pain. They certainly are worth looking into. Living your life, numbed by pain drugs is not a great quality of life, but it is a CHOICE. I am sorry you have the pain and I'm sorry if you are addicted to the medication. That's a real bummer, but it is nice to know that you have alternative choices.
