[Trust but Verify]

I've taken drugs for pain as well, and like you, I was concerned about how much I took and that I stopped taking them when the pain lessened. But what if your pain never goes away? Never lessens? Then what do you do.

Rush had pain associated with his coccyx bone. Go read up on that. Read the horror stories of the pain people have from that and then come back here and compare your pain to that.

He got addicted from abuse not from need. I can't beleive this attitude that he needed them.

He kept playing golf through his incredible pain. Oh but he needed the drugs to deaden the pain to get out of bed right?

On his show he said he liked it. He can't deny that aspect if he is to beat the addiction.

What if you don't have pain but taking the drug just makes you feel better? What's wrong with that?

Rush had pain associated with his coccyx bone.

Interesting. He said that the doctors told him that if he wanted to have the surgery to relieve the back pain, it could possibly hurt his larynx since they have to go through his neck. Are you inferring that Rush's ass is in his head?

BTW, he had a cyst removed from his tail bone over 30 years ago, which is why he didn't serve in Vietnam.

I am sure playing golf 6 days week didn't give his coccyx, neck, bone cancer, or whatever story it is this week, any favors.
