Pain and Addiction - An Update

I wanted to fill you in on my status. As you know the doctor has taken me off of the Narcotics that I was perscribed. I am not complaining because I do get addicted to things easy, (Air, Water, Food, and Hugs) Seriously I would perfer to be pain free and not have to worry about addiction. So I am sitting at work. I have realized that since I was removed from my pain killers I have not gotten out of my chair as much (Thanks, Sire for the Games... They have kept me Occupied :D), been getting more muscle spasm and can not shake this weak, tingling in my legs. That is not an issue to me either, well not major, My coworker called and asked if I could print something for him. I realized that while I was on my medication I would have printed it and taken it over to the other building to give it to him. Today I called him up to tell him it was ready for him. So Today = No Pain Killers = 1. Not getting out of my chair 2. makeing people change habits to deal with my disability 3. Sitting on a Block of ice to get the pain to diminish a little 4. Have had 9 Extra Strenght Tylenol in the past 12 hours 5. Annoyed team members at the meeting because my legs kept shaking the Table.

Pain and Addiction - A new tale

I guess my Doctor had a change in heart. After my last visit on August 21 I was given 15 day supply of Vicodin. When I went back to the doctor 23 days later he asked me how many I had left. I told him 3 pills. This was a sign to him that I not only had a dependency problem that we were worried about but I didn't need that strong of a drug. So here I am Proud of the fact that I was able to make 15 days of my favorite drug last over 23 days. But here I am now in so much pain that I can't get out of my chair. I love my Laptop. So New Doctor or New Drug?
