[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I recently had a chronic pain situation Followed by a very painful surgery. I had been taking opioids for the pain which was severe. During the recovery period which was 8 weeks long I took oxy. The pharmacy started getting very antsy about renewing and the doc was like ok stop taking it. I was addicted to it by that time. Withdrawal was pure hell (worse than the surgery) and nothing like the “discomfort” the doctor described. I could easily see how a person could turn to street drugs in desperation. Scary situation. Fortunately for me the surgery cured the pain but I feel for anyone in chronic pain. Or going through withdrawal. Signed middle class woman who never took pills before this. [/quote]

What was withdraw like?  Did you know you were addicted before they were stopped?  I have addiction in the family and I thankfully have not had chronic pain that would require continued medication but the few surgeries and broken bones I have suffered I refused anything more than Tylenol 3. I’m too scared to even go down that road.[/quote]
