[Dr. Bogus Pachysandra]

I have chronic back pain. Fell on some ice 32 years and 6 months ago. Compression fractured three verts. In bed for eight months. It’s been quite bad lately, but I don’t take anything for it. Just suffer. I have known three people in their Seventies, that have become addicted to Oxycontin, and have no desire to join them. But,,,,, it hurts,,, every day, 24 hours a day.

Your pain is not important to the folks on FR that think you are a wimp.

Suck it up, and move forward.

Never mind their whining asses would cry like little girls.

They will change their tune on pain-killers. When the pain gets bad enough.

But I'm with you. I don't want the fuzzies or the addiction. I just want relief that doesn't come from a gun barrel.

I have thought about your response. People in their 70s who are in pain are also addicted to pain meds. So what. People approaching the end of their lives should have whatever relief they want. When my motherIL was dying of cancer, and in PAIN she was allowed only every four hours pain meds because the docs where afraid she would be addicted, good lord she was dying. Ok, not exactly what you where saying. If people are in pain they should get relief if they wish, if they don't wish more power to them. my pain interferes with my life, and I am sick of being treated like a thug because I want relief.

I can only hope my prayers help, good Doctor.

Feel Better.
