I can feel for you. Due to my health I have been taking pain meds now for over two years. It is not easy taking them that is for sure. I have tried to go without yet the pain is so darn unbearable that I sit here and cry if I am not on them. I have even noticed that I probably wouldn't even be able to walk very well or much at all without them.
I hope you find the right guidance to what your looking for and will keep you in my prayers and thoughts.

I was in a car accident 5/1992. Had severe injuries. since then i have had a total knee replacement. Since the accident I would tell my docs that i had this back pain and each doc would give me pain meds. well after a while i crossed the line where i could not manage my meds. i have been depressed over all the years of these docs giving me these meds and not finding out why i have the pain. after 12 years of the endless circle i finally went into rehab. the best thing i have ever done in my life. while i was at rehab the docs put me on a different type of pain med that works for chronic pain and for addiction. i was doing really great. after rehab i could not find a doc to prescribe it for chronic pain. so my doc put me back on the same stuff i was on before rehab. well it started all over again. as an addict everybody knows one is to many and one is not enough. i ask a family member to take me back to rehab. but she found a doc at a pain clinic that would prescribe what i needed. she also did an MRI that know one has ever done. results were not good but i do not need surgery yet. i am so mad that i fell between the cracks for so long i can not hardly contain myself. now i am getting the medication i need, but back sliding when taking it because my disease has been talking to me since i was put back on the meds that i went to rehab to get off. sorry this is so long i just needed to get it out. i am going to get my family member to help me when i go back to get my new meds. because right now i can not handle taking it properly. this disease i wish on no one but you deal with like any other, talk about it and let the mistakes go and start a new.
My wife has been doing this i think for longer then admits i believe.now being faced with this situation im realizing things in her,our marrital problems are truly pain med created with the help of the disease of addiction.i want to go back to meetings but she wants no part and im really sad and confused?dont know what to do???
